take it off. . . take off the mask. . .

Contributed by elle on Sunday, 24th May 2009 @ 09:50:30 PM in AEST
Topic: secrets




let me scribe my faith

into your unadorned flesh

a pillow book. . .

all knowledge

of a self you chose to embrace

warmly

to cleave unto yourself

each primal edge

a fresher pallor,

a binding.

oh canvas

oh sacrifice

& weeping. . . we

finally share

this peripheral disregard.

What I love about your poetry is I can look at it from so many different perspectives. While that may be true of a lot of poetry, it's especially true (at least for me) when I read your work. This first left me thinking, what the heck (honestly didn't use think that word). Then it reminded me of two people coming together, falling in love and lust, while sharing each other's pain. While I am probably off by a mile, that's what I got out of it tonight. Or, well, see, they could also be weeping in joy. See? There goes that other perspective again!

God.. I don't know what to say. In such short punchy lines you describe an amazing connection and detachment. I don't often feel another's work so deeply. You make me want to stop writing due to the feeling that I could never explain a thought so well. I feel this piece very strongly. It struck a major cord in me.
Great piece.
