The road kill
of your thoughts
trips you up,
and spills you out
on hot asphalt
and bright pins,
and shards of black glass,
dug deep under your nails.
you spin and weave trouble
like spiders in jars,
where legs tangle
and eyes grow beady
in the tight air
with wasted time
run amok
like a twisted clock
the black threads of your lies
pulled taut
with your sharp white teeth
hanging like old news
in the corner,
as withered as your heart
spat out like demon seed
in someone else's head.

I am reworking some older poetry, tightening things up into a leaner voice. ^Chuckles* Some are going to require major renovations....

I give :icondarkclub::iconinked-page: permission to display my work.

"Like spiders in jars,

My favorite lines. Your poetry is so carefully crafted, which is why I like it so much. Your prose runs until I cannot catch my breath but your poetry stops and weighs it's meaning carefully before entering into the next line.

Excellent imagery for your topic - very nicely done. :clap:
:iconmeljoy68:
:jawdrop: Over and over you amaze me...You paint such a vivid picture with your words. You weave each line together so tightly, I have to read, then sit back and think, then continue on until I've gone through it line by line...I can't just read it and be done with it. Incredible...:worship:

It makes me want to tear up every poem I've ever written. :laughing:
:iconkineticlightning:
That is just....wow.

I particularly like the line about wasted time and bas poetry.

Thanks, my beloved. I wanted to create a disturbing image, and spiders seem to fit the bill.
