Rejection

by Richard Trotter

sorry, I can't make a river
flow through your brain
and part seas in your stomach
which burn like a broken spa
spitting thoughts in your breast.
why would you say a word?
for my head is a two legged spider
only complete when he slips through the ether.

I keep trying to shake the imagery. I don't want to go where those words take me, but I want to see it all the same. Interesting feelings.
