ecstasy

Stephen's fault again...

I would let go

but for the colour.

still,

I like to sneak to the edge

dig my fingernails into stone

and ponder

the relief of falling

the ecstasy in shattering bones, the

liberation of seeping blood. but

when I crawl back

it is for the shade

of your tears.

What a wonderful little nasty poem. There's a quality to the self-indulgent imagery that make it seem so... true to our nature. I enjoyed it.

i wanted to read this without the period after 'colour' .. the idea of the colour still.. appeals to me.

I like to sneak to the edge
dig my fingernails into stone
ponder

I think you could edit out the 'ands' there.

I really like the ecstasy IN the bones. that's nice.

I like this Ruth.
