Crocodile Eye

[Abstract Poetry]

My mind was lost again, you see,

And at first I had it right there--it’s gone to some void now.

Then I saw the crocodile’s eye

And it was spinning a web like a spider,

Catching my lies that turned into paper-cutting flies.

I tried, I tried, I tried…

Tried to staple them, tried to stuff them

Down some random pretty hole inside another hole

Within the vacant space of my bellybutton,

But they insisted…they f*****g insisted…

That being caught is way more fun than being hollow truths.

Like clumsy gymnasts

They flipped, flopped, turned and dropped,

And that damned crocodile eye…

Destroyed them with a cold-blooded stare, it did.

It laughed through someone else’s dirty, trickster mouth

It laughed and taunted with its Cyclops-stare going further down south--

An act of reptilian perversion, no doubt.

As I crawl inside a sorrowful embrace

You might ask what happened next,

And I’ll reply, disgusted and shamed,

“Gobbled them up, it did, then asked to fit itself

Between my naked thighs.”

The latter doesn’t pain me as much as the former.

I’m racked with guilt and the cruel embrace of realizing that

I couldn’t save them--

Those poor paper-cutting flies…

They never stood half an inch of cheap chance

When tongue was tied to choke them dirty lies.

I dunno. Make what you will of it.

Update 04.29.12 - I'm astounded by how many views this piece has received and still no reviews =O
In fact, it makes me wonder if I wrote something far too abstract for people to "get" anything outta it...or that I simply concocted something just too damn weird it could pass as bad writing. Hmm... -scratches head-

I'm not complaining though ^__^

Reviews

[Bare trees]

I've never seen that many reads with no reviews before so naturally I had to say something. No I don't understand it all but I can see the crocks eye represents something. Perhaps some kind of shame or conscience. And those paper cutting flies? Hm Not quite sure, but there's something going on with sex and possibly shame. I kinda liked it actually because it's different. I personally would have taken it off a long time go when I saw it was getting no reviews, but perhaps maybe now someone will offer their own opinion after seeing I've given mine. Even if it is totally wrong. LOL
