Human Qualities

by kayla-denara-prentice

A rum bottle slowly imploding in on itself for a universe – you told me that was how you were born. If Man wants to be soothed, Man avoids the trampling, follows the drumming thrumming beats, and Man finds peace in a glass bottle full of itself. Artic ocean ease in a cupped hand, press into a paper and find release. Snap, there’s a picture, Man takes it to a pin and lets it sit for the world, meaning nothing to Man other than perhaps an igloo or self-royalty dream. I’ll take all the dark parts of your heart for you, She said with a kiss, knowing full well that he would have nothing left. That boy talked to Man and they had a good conversation they could drown in. Spectacles skewed and clothes everywhere, a swarm of self pity breathing fresh snow air. Man said, sorry, I can’t feel. “Who are we?” Man said, shhhh, you know I can’t hear you; I can’t feel. So just miss me hard. http://suchpoeticthoughts.blogspot.com/2013/11/human-qualities.html
