Clean Slate

12/28/2008

After all that... all the 'stuff'.

I recently heard that one of the most poetic of men; a writer beyond most, used 16,000 different words in his poetry.

My only question is... who would be so anal as to count such a thing?

Maybe I will take a different tack with what I decide to share. This time, with a new slate, I think I will be a bit cautious...

Let's start like this....

From Out of the Dust

I rose up, coughing
Choked on the dust settled around me
Bone-dry and thick-tonqued
I work my mouth to find some moisture

Propped up on my arms
I shake the cobwebs from my eyes
Real cobwebs... drifting down
I focus on those tattered remnants that float
On unfelt movements in the air.

The brightness of the light It is what struck me as I lay
Confounded by my surroundings
I, as unrecognizable as if in a dust cocoon.
I wear the slag of years gone by, dust that hides me
Conceals me, alters my appearance
Til it has come that no one knows who I once was.
Dust grey hands go to my face
And scrape away the crust of time and feel... yes...
I still feel...
The soft and supple skin beneathe the bark of time.
I am still alive.
I do survive
All I need is to face the fears
Wash the dust away with my tears.

For to hurt
Is the proof
You are still alive.

Fools that won't even identify themselves and hurl insults... are pitiful. If you think yourself better, why don't you show all of us what you've got, Pipsqueak.
