by Liar
There are some wonderful images throughout, with my favorite (perhaps) being:
"from hungry lips
down face down throat
crossing paths with history
and extend
that pillow book calligraphy
on a journey
always as virginal
and anew"
One image I rather wish were pushed a little harder is that of "crucifixion". (Perhaps in the title?)
A good read, Liar!
Your smooth with both your phrasing and images. I especially liked the lead in.
I like the structural representation of action and response, as well as the linguistic and metaphorical descent! JD's right about the title, though.
the lines 'your most/most everything' drove it home for me. As weird as this may sound it was very respectful and precious all at once. Lovely.
I liked the title. :D
Damn hot poem, Liar.

This caught me ...
so I linger in that
breathless pit
and taste your pulse
once more
before breathless
I descend
*shiver*
