Gentle Kicks on the Guilt of a Thief
listen

Gnawing steadily.
 1
 
 
And to disaster in the fat breaths,
 2
the golden shoe,
 3
 
 
born like the silver spoon in your mouth,
 4
playing on your tongue,
 5
like the moon
 6
 
 
dancing on your desires.
 7
Wanting it, not claiming it,
 8
only
 9
 
 
seeing the dark stars of your dark night,
 10
scorning you,
 11
hating you,
 12
 
 
and you
 13
are guilty
 14
even though they denounce you as innocent,
 15
because you stole the golden
 16
harps
 17
to tie green greed in misery
 18
 
 
on to your product of money,
 19
 
 
which you use
 20
to lace your frontal
 21
face, slightly adjoined to the soles.

sorry you feel that way. the character here is such.

I much prefer this to the recent 'Heart Pumping with spirit' which was fine enough, but this is an ecstacy of simple lines all pronouncing what they mean with a clarity that is wonderful to read, and mull over later on.
