Kevin Talks to Celia Who Tells Rose

1 Aug

Susan Scutti


slack mouth revelations fade the flower of her dignity                    a residue of pulse follows the can’t complete                     she provides herself with one rectangular concern along the avenue                   and pauses to press                                      the potential remains for flesh familiarity                                                        for possibility

mail is bills is book
mail is male

private whispers
unbetrayed
interior declarations made

ascend to your perch only to find a broken lock

fearlessness in hopelessness                

the absurdity of despair in defeat

    I’m pondering this one…I like you use of word structure within the poem.
