Flailing

by Scott Cadence

she put
all her knowing
into me

like a funnel
poured all her wild beauty
into my insides

so at night
I feel shadows
of the Shoshoni
dancing backwards
inside me

my fists
are wrapped up
in the mane of her
insatiable desires

I am just trying
to hang on.

Wonderful. That ending was very impacting. And I like the imagery at the beginning especially.

So much said in these brief lines/stanzas...I love the flow, the craft of your imagery, how it is delivered..."in the mane of her/ insatiable desires"--one of those lines you wish you wrote!...kudos poet...a pleasure to read you again, peace, jewels

This is an absolutely stunning bit of imagery...fit for the wild hunt or the living room fireside...a most worthy poem of the day!
