Poetry's Chamber
Karyn Indursky 03/18/09

 

Words splattered across
your face
as graffiti to be removed
and abruptly forgotten.

 

Expressions painted upon
your skin
for body wash
to be scrubbed away like debri.

 

Sentences dangling form
your neck
to be carelessly broken
while you purchase something better.

 

Syllables delicatly piercing
your earlobes
beneath fumbling fingers
before breaking into nothingness.

 

Pronouncations slither towards
your shoes
crunching as gravel
when poetry's locked away and neglected.
