Free-form revised!


Free-form

Inspired by M and K arguing over the liver

Opium-infused
                        energy pounding blood
                                    orange
in smoke-wind, lobby-light
She can't write poetry for shit,  she says

            His muse is only damp
                                    a mutter of a muse
                                                            sputtering inspiration
His knuckles snapcrack

He bends experience
love
            his soul
                        and the leftovers
into complete                                                 nullity                        

            He stoops into art that has already surrendered
                                                                                                like sterile street-talk
A rule-following-fool      sculpted from assonance, consonance, and eyewash.
                                   

While the write-off     breaks
her watermelon nails on the taptap keys
                                                                                                letter L is missing

Whi e they s ave over  iterature
                                                she can't find that one  etter she needs
                                                                                                to spe   what she wants


Dear Mr. Verse,      

you are so                       superficia
