You Don't Say?

You Don't Say?

A Poem by Melobldnfr
"

the only thing I can think to utter Without closing the shutters On my own valve wrenched place

"

07/28/11

 

My mind's eye gurles and weeps

Some things pulpous and bloody

As I try looking passed the ruddy

Tender splendor of the offender

Who would mend the spent bends

If only she had the heart for it.

In turn I sense my chin raising

As if to face the sun

While stating, as I have had to

To others, the only thing I can think to utter

Without closing the shutters

On my own valve wrenched place

Existing in the space below my face:

"You don't say?"

And then I turn

Trying not to waste

The rest of the day

Or what's left of the taste

Of what came before the gray.
