Skuld Resurrected (Free verse) by SupremeDreamer
The quiet hum of words fade
into each other,
stuttered-stumbling, confused,
voice tight, amped by vapored lungs--
a yearning satisfied
an itch scratched, a fist
held in defiance.
It could be nothing, sure,
but that don't mean poetry's dead.
(you motherfucker.)
Melded minds entwine
in collaboration, at ease,
taking in the twisted lines--
(blurred by bad articulation.)
everything taken half-heartedly,
a grain of salt; simple, salty bitterness
making it all the more sweet.
Theres no need to change a damned thing;
we can't, it's hopeless, it's futile.
It's the thing fools do again and
again and again in retardation--
(but it works.)
without sense in
isolated drug space
expressing dead stirrings--
(pounding.)
on a wall of words
turned to thoughts
thoughts to feelings.
(assumptions into sweet nothings.)
Poetry's not dead,
not old, it's
young, ruthless--
a gang of hoodlums
amounting to nothing,
screaming
"go fuck yourself motherfucker,
goddamn cunt-bitch-WHORE."
beating this hopeless rebellion
(but we ain't dead.)
into your fucking skull:
We amount to something;
something savage, violent, frenzied--
a tempest deepening.
