Crypt

What's left on the pyre-
After it burns to ashes?
Scorched earth Barren Scarred

This was the original - 50 years ago nearly and I misquoted myself. I'm less holy/weird now. 😇😇

For this week's #PoemsAbout #SheddingSkins I'm thinking about things that emerge tender and glistening into tomorrow.

a very good scrap to put on your table sometimes the constructed thing is what allows a truth to exist. this is obvious if you've ever written a poem. or worn braces. less obvious if you've ever constructed a self. teeth, apparently, can be persuaded by sustained pressure. eventually the braces come off. nobody asks which teeth were true. not to press my pricky biological objection to this whole central metaphor too far but now i think we have a poem with a problem in it rather than a poem explaining a position which must mean we're really getting somewhere. and like the proverbial snake who gets shed -- strike a dignified pose and find out.

Tomorrow: #PoemsAbout #SheddingSkins.

What had to come off before you could move?

Don’t polish the transformation. Give us the split, the scrape, the raw bit underneath.

Don’t post before Friday. Tag #PoemsAbout. Use Alt Text.
