abstrect-christ Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 too much Preacher intake makes for weird and dark dreams ------------------------------------- Following fold after fold, cloth a thick seaweed in the eastern pacific until I find a white feather, shining in the sun light breaking the waters surface; traveling upward waves soften revealing an Olympus kingdom stripped down to a Flavian Amphitheatre -- marble and stone covered in crawling greens and trees of immense reaves -- a thunders crackle grey’s transgression, cumulus clouds of black diminishing a halo’s nimbus. Macabre and wide a gale wind knocks pottery and cutlery over making me blink in and out of this blood filled syringe, as I drift apart, cloth in an opaque gyre fading into elderitch’s abstrection. by Jeremy Swyck (01/30/12) Quote Pinhead "Unbearable, isn't it? The suffering of strangers, the agony of friends. There is a secret song at the center of the world, Joey, and its sound is like razors through flesh." Joey "I don't believe you."

tonyv Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 Jeremy, I particularly liked the reference to the "eastern Pacific." (Of course that's western North America, lol.) I also really liked this verse: Macabre and wide a gale wind knocks pottery and cutlery over making me blink in and out of this blood filled syringe ... Its last line jars the reader into an even harder reality.
