the binary world

cyclothymic chant

the binary world

The ying the yang

the spoken the sang

the eagle the dove

the hatred the love

the light the dark

the finish the start

the north the south

the G spot the mouth

the nape the lips

the hands the hips

the tongue the c**t

the clasp the zip

the west the east

the famine the feast

the  young the old

the meek the bold

the truth the lie

the hello the goodbye

the give the take

the destroy the create

the stop the go

the ignorance the know

the booze the pills

the lives the kills

The false the true

The me the you

I'm tired of cycling

i'm finished here

i'm through

[Tina Kline]

You are very welcome.

[Penlady]

Yes, and read as 'chant,' and thoroughly enjoyed! Is that li'l one with the binky and look of precious consternation, the wee one your family was awaiting when last we spoke? Do I remember correctly a granddaughter in your life named Madeline? I'm trying to remember...its been so long...Hi!

[Lydia Shutter]

The rhythm of your staccato lines is wonderful. Your words run the gamut from the sensual to the mundane and the opposites are brilliant. All the images are intense. Unique work. I liked it. Lydi**

[Audrey Howitt]

Love this piece. There is a great rhythm to it and really well crafted--

[ba_mcfarlane]

Thank you so.

[Alexandria Reece]

The progression is astounding and climactic. Every next line bleeds into the other so that all are surrounded with natural neighbors of sorts. This is a very good poem, thank you for sharing it with the community.

[Alexandria Reece]
