Naw ... but I'm gonna. ;)<br /><br />This line is HOT: "Later, deep in the rabies dance of our mating" ... That whole stanza is absolutely delicious, in an I-know-Imma-gonna-have-food-poisoning-later-but-eating-this-poison-is-worth-every-bite sort of way.<br /><br />"That was the key--the corpse cardinal, dead dove and rot starling" ... I know you were damn proud of this line, weren't you?<br /><br />"with red script<br />from the blood bracelet your bite left" ... Again, I find this so yummy. I don't know about you, but I love the taste of blood. Especially if I've drawn it. ;)<br /><br />"sure of redemption's need for absolute destruction as prelude" ... Have I mentioned before that you're brilliant? If it will get you to keep feeding me poems, I'm going to end every comment with "Puh-lease keep writing."✿https://www.blogger.com/profile/01044032159371976375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3107838361391025851.post-23092004185859651912016-04-07T18:44:19.232-04:002016-04-07T18:44:19.232-04:00I enjoyed your labels as much as the poem, LOL.

I love that, especially. Really really fine writing, Shay--you're def throwing that bar into orbit these days.hedgewitchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13090696134322515899noreply@blogger.com
