give me your blunt, stunted words
~for Joel M Frye~
*
give me your blunt, stunted words,
rooted in the genome human
give me rough, toughened words,
wizened savvy by caress and punch
what use angels ethereal pinheaded,
inexperienced in the vocabulary of the maddening crowd
give me anger, rage, envy-jealousy,
the burnt ashes of the remainder of real
give me perspective of eyes facedown on concrete,
feel of flesh hands pounding the soft spots of the skull
In return for? What bargain struck? What consideration exchanged?
for your blunt, stunted words,
I give you this:
the homage of inspiration
the honor of no questions asked
one day of my life
poured into your vase
