you can feel
the bone-chirp,
the black hands of old whores,

the economic
foot-shuffle,

love.

5 am,
we are the mere jangle
in God's pocket.

Daily Deviation

Given 2008-02-14

the politics of sleep is an old favourite of mine: a poem about the deep of night, of love and sex. Enjoy this short, well-crafted poem by ~blackamnesiaofheaven on Valentine's Day. (Featured by `lovetodeviate)

Some part of me feels the need to reapply to poetryslamming.

But that part of me is retarded, so I ignore it. Regardless, these past five poems are so, even weeks after writing them, manage to not make me vomit continuously into the wide mouth of infinity.

Meanwhile, I love you so fucking much.

we are!

Of course these past five poems shouldn't make you vomit into the wide mouth of infinity because they are fucking beautiful. RECOGNIZE, SON. WORD.

I do agree that the part of you that wants to reapply to poetryslamming is retarded because WHY GOD WHY DO YOU SEEK ACCEPTANCE FROM THEM? HONESTLY, there is not one person in there that doesn't have a severe fucking christ complex that clouds their judgement entirely. If all of the great poets of the world somehow rose from the dead to apply at poetryslamming THEY would be told that their writing is horrible. So I think seeking acceptance from them is entirely futile and ridiculous.

Meanwhile, I think if YOU want to reapply you should.

I fucking love you so much.

Ooh, it's amazing how neatly you told your story in so few lines, and I really think the image was a good choice. :+fav:

My life has been the poem I would have writ,
but I could not both live and utter it.

The last part is pretty much amazing.
:iconadobemaster:
"a mere jangle" how unique. how originally powerful(or should i say weak). You are an inspiration to those who do not seek it. I plan to watch you simply from this poem.
I think its fantastic that you included "love." in this you explain "love"'s true meaning, simply fantastic.

I love this. It reminds me of my favorite poet's work. Which is a huge compliment, because he's amazing. :)

Stand up for what you believe in, even if it means you're standing alone.
