Menial existence

by Lenny   Jun 8, 2007


Menial existence
Crumpled days
Fingers, sand is slipping
Cracks to chasms
Open broader
Snake across cracking desert
Of time
Faster faster
Breaching laws
Evolution blossoms
In breast of blood woman
Time bleeds
Womb to earth
Fetus thrust
Into existence
Menial existence
Time slips through fingers
Routine builds
And time snakes
Bleeds
Dries in sun
Crimson scab in time
Life

Menial it slips,
Existence. . .

    I like the style you used in this-sort of a minilamist style, yet your words and images are very effective. A unique style and voice with a deeper meaning. Excellent piece.

    Peace Poetry & Power,

    Like it. 'evolution blossoms' in that context really got me. not sure what you were trying to do, with the repeated words,.. but for me, the second time i read the words like crack and snake they were almost stale. then again reading it another time, i kind of see a connection between the repeated words .... so ... maybe its to my fault that that doesnt click first time, or maybe this is a piece meant to be read a few times over. certainly deserving th0, goodjob
