I regurgitate knives
into a pillow
to deny them
their rightful place
in mutinous flesh.

Who not?


I regurgitate knives
into my pillow
to deny them
their place in my chest.


call it

From my lover.


Just a thought.

Interesting image.

Would it have been worth while,
To have bitten off the matter with a smile,
To have squeezed the universe into a ball
To roll it toward some overwhelming question
To say: "I am Lazarus, come from the dead,
Come back to tell you all, I shall tell you all"

POW! A clever little piece. Works for me.

However, because I'm bored, I'm going to throw something at you...

I spit knives
into pillow
denying their prick
to mutinous flesh.

sure, why not, let me have a go at it:

I watch my knives cut deep
into white-assed potatoes
before they are thrown
into the boiling waters
to unleash
their unmitigated essence.

That's a funny image. Tongue I can imagine a pair of butt cheeks, not seen the sun in years, (probably Scottish), jumping into a swimming pool in summer, or, to peeled and washed potatoes, being flung into a boil pot of water.

Slap that ass,

I'm loving all these revisions!  Allow me to throw one in there:

"Exodus"

I regurgitate knives
into a pillow
to deny their place
in mutinous flesh.




Keep 'em coming, I'm having fun reading these!
