Poetic Conquests

Poetic Conquests

Karyn Indursky

 

Barefoot thoughts thread emotional
tides. Ripples of water squeeze
between libel toes. Shudders of writer's
block torture the spine. Parchment legs
accelerate up the steep slander hill.
Each typing hurdle is higher than
the last. Velocity pen jumping pays
off and leaps. Landing after a pronoun
back-flip, swinging from newspaper vines
starts and every single fiber of the editor
threatens to snap.  A little fall into murky
ethics puddles gives a dingy taste. Wiping
it off it's up the publicist mountain. Upon
the approval of a new book the sight beneath
is astoundingly beautiful.
