i have a mouth of needles and feet like albumen,
peppermint walks of my body deliver a soft voice,
I squeak often and break like vintage china,
leaking is the catharsis, moon or the sun, we leak sideways.
Ferment tales on my pillows,
sliding a perforated cup of talks to my own self,
(my own mind is hell)it has fungus and roses both.
so i talk and conversate,
slipping into the darkness of my broken fingernail.
this body rotate like dwarves on sherry,
with a flower in my womb,
fever fever fever
i am wild now.
so my body has another light,
a vacuum instilled inside a vacuum,
what does it make me do now?
Ingesting my mouth, perhaps?
Chills beneath these grey lips
lead like shadows dwindling.
You are a wildflower. Your metaphors are of some another level. I love the way you ended this🌼❤️

Sorry, but have to start my comment with this little footnote. Your self descriptions make me smile. I know they are symbols and metaphors yet, I smile that a beautiful woman describes herself with grey lips and mouth of needles.
Now, seriously, you are an AWfully great poet. Parts of your poetry make me go Aaaaaw
while your metaphors always leave me in AWE. Your blog should be a must read for all students of poetry. I so admire your poetry MVS.

‘A mouth of needles’ suggests aggression and vulnerability at the same time. I like ‘conversate’ too. This is a very powerfully emotive poem, kinda desperately all over the place.

I could probably tell if a poem were written by you even if it didn’t have your name on it. So recognizable.

One small doubt…why your poems mostly revolve around the body ..?? I mean they are deep and good..but I am not talking about that…always you take the canvas of body and paint in and around it

each poet has his or her own distinctive trait about poetry. Poets are known by their special thing. Maybe that is my thing? Maybe i love to use symbolism in context of bodies. Who knows?!!
