Savage Parade
by Kate DemereeTangled in damp sheets
Thoughts creep spider-like
Weaving their webs
In dark corners
Mandibles of doubt
Pierce fragile skin
Outer layers of hopes
Dreams that sweltering heat
And silence easily defeat
Leaving silk wrapped
Empty husks hanging
Tangled, trapped,
Savage parades

| Posted by Chris Sorrenti on 06/28/03 at 01:42 PM Sure can relate to this one Kate. Good use of spider related imagery/metaphors to illuminate the darkness. |
| Posted by Alex Smyth on 06/28/03 at 05:04 PM Whoa! Intense, dark, intimate, very close to the bone, Kate. Powerful poem! |
| Posted by Philip F De Pinto on 06/29/03 at 05:58 PM who would not pause and marvel at this bubbling in their path, and spidery, tangent the rivulets streaming to twinkle toes or saturate the accompaniment, their entirety? |
