A rhyme with no place to go. (Free verse) by darby pyn
It starts slow.
dilated discreet below your thoughts.
just a wrinkle in your sigh
just a line between the dots.
with each connection a little quicker
peel the pulp from the root.
excommunicate the alter. leave the
choir standing mute
trim the sleeves from your shoulder
lean forward to exert. stain the sides
with your sweat. extend to insert.
solitaire in solitary, monastery,
voluntary. with my lies I be wed
another bullet for my head another
metaphor instead take the pillows
from my bed.
turn fast before the crash.
letâs add a little speed.
sunder under a blinking pass
an autograph my adjective
insignia in memorandum.
let the tattoo bleed.
the highway walls sell contraband
covered with dead propaganda.
malignant palms squeeze saturation
hieroglyphic masturbation.
swear the world with my graffiti
slang with abstract contradiction
age disclaimer obituary
cemetery.
sacrifice.
sanctity in suicide.
hypocrisy in memory.
ignorance in denial.
denial.
denial
denial.

hieroglyphic masturbation.'
This line about graffiti is awesome! This is a strange poem, with layers that warrant repeated reads. I read it several times, and it grew on me more each time. Good job. Actually, it would make great lyrics I think!
I'm a musician so the line between songwriting
and poetry often cross.
thanks again.
