the F**K of IT

     a myriad of hexagon portals

     insect eye

unguided from the get-go

             recurring each sequential sinkhole dilation

   but not wide enough to let the universe drain in

You cast your dragnets across the surface     in varying trascendent gradations

    but if the mesh is too thin...

a net becomes a curtain

          opacity must be maintained

      hexagon portal matrix

           insect eye         without the benefit of a reactionary stance

        the world sits calm

                              ignoring you

                           not wanting to plunder you

                          too full to devour you

                         too numb to steal a caress from your lonely head

              a tapestry that recedes as you advance

                    until you unsheath your resolve

      and carve through...

This is stunningly fabulous poetry, absolutely fantastic. The brutality of the title made me wonder if I wanted to read this at all but I am certainly glad that I did not allow any sensitivity to disuade me. Fine writing.

I think Margaret missed the point, the word f**k is extremely germane to the topic and the point of the poem. It has everything to do with unsheathing and carving through to me, anyway. Maybe it's a male thing? Nice write here Brett!

love the net/curtain - insect eyes - looking in all directions
we disregard as a pest, flick it away while it surveys
the area finding the softest place to slice.

Makes me think of terroism from within.

�The polygonal shape as decition is matter to many when not subject to guidance and control after launching and the brushing aside didn't help

loved it.

I enjoyed reading the poem. It moved and grooved. It was HOT but what was NOT was the title. Is it really necessary to use profanity to express the profound? it may catch the eye as well as the arouse ire, however I think that profanity should only be used when the word is germane to the thought being expressed. Great work...~M~
