hello dum-dums!


Accidental Escape


flame brands flesh

it was an accident!

a delicious, tingly
rush of blood, exultant face

I swear, it was an accident!

but I feel alive
and
suddenly awake

the second time, too, was an accident!

throbbing
but I don't speak up this time
and nurse it quietly
with a smile

an accident, it was an accident!

then, while lighting a cigarette,
a stinging sensation
singes my eyelashes.
even now lid burns with_
desire?

was it? was it an accident?

or did I sabotage myself?
pain brings me to me
sets the longing heartache free
as my cheeks burn with bold
as my fingers burn with blistered love
as my eye burns

with_desire

@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

(and TheGreatKazoo vanishes in a cloud of green smoke,
with a bang)

commentally ill: dum-dum, your ASSumptions would be incorrect in this case. I, TheGreatKazoo, am brother to TheGreatGazoo, he is green, and I am blue. I was just reading your poetry, sort of lacking in content, isn't it. Ha.

don't get me wrong, dum-dum, I appreciate your art, even if it is a grubby human doing the writing. however, your newfound nonexistence on this site sort of negates your being here, wouldn't you say? get on with your death throes.

True Words Embellished
Another angle on self-inflicted pain. Nice, I like it. Although the smell of burnt flesh is suddenly everywhere... *shudders*

well, i can't say as i like the theme of self-abuse (a familiar tune we have all learned to play)... but the writing is fairly strong. welcome to the site, Kazoo...
