Innocence revisited (Free verse) by Caducus
Two spines laid on countless spines. Soil was brunette A body yard from virginal And my seed was unspent Until her declaration soddened her thigh And I cried on a shared sternum Where countless I love you’s Were wasted on from desire. It was Autumn I felt sorry for, And when I feel like falling – I return, To the spastic oak ravaged since by lightning That split our names into splinters. It is Autumn that took my innocence And not the brunette of spring.

Up the ladder: Boundaries
Down the ladder: Closed Doors

"A body yard from virginal" makes me think there has to either be a typo somewhere, or a missing word--I get some gist of it from context, but well, lots of different some gists.

very interesting, though. I really like the second stanza, and just want the first to cohere a little more for me.

I read virginal as "vaginal", go figure.

I read "wasted on from desire" as "wasted on desire." Go figure. And try "virginal body yard." Hey, it beats "vaginal."

The only problem I have is (spastic).
