Crumb (Free verse) by calliope
What did a woman really mean
when all you can remember is what it's like
inside? Not her face,
not her voice, nothing that defined her
exteriorly.
Just a vague pressing on the legs
when waking up suddenly.
She had to have been more important.
I mean, I'm disgusted with myself!
A voluminous catalogue cries to be
browsed,
But the most luminous dialogue creeps in
unnanounced.
When chemicals were realeased and electric pulses
clung to the night.
Spindles of fibres flicked to life
at a simple switch.
Staples or shackles seemed to bind me down.
But I liked it!
