Review

your prompt
stop jingles
maul my muse
gang banging on
grainy 8mm
in a snuff film
with a soundtrack
of pretension

i miss the days
of anonymity
in mental patient white
when my words
rambled to
no one echoing
in an empty room
filled to the brim

i long to be
that fameless whore
dancing with
devils in darkness
and no one else
the wiser
weighing in
and setting my scales
off balance

  2. ah but sometimes others help to balance your scales when you don't realize they're tipped. the key is finding the people who nourish you rather than deplete you.

  3. Your subtext is one I've thought about often. Stark and true words.
