The fight between a tiger and a man.
The curtains of a King in Lust awaiting His Battle.
The unicorns other horn.
The Taste of a wine cut by a heavy taste of honey.
A labyrinth playground where transactions are
dealt with smooth smiles.
The child's laughter during Hiroshima.
A wave behind a wave, curtains
with a hint of sunshine, and blood across
the Queens porcelain cheeks.
All these things, for our hands
to meet.

There's almost a rage in there and then the tone just demands that you look somewhere else and each time you do you get this spiralling connection to another idea. I love how you end it too. I'm not sure if I'm explaining this right but i really enjoyed it and look forward to reading more! |

If so, the last line is curious... does it suggest simple connection/companionship is something that is only realised after sex? Great stuff, with plenty to mull over. Very much enjoyed. |

Sex is referred in a mysterious way, but not a realization after sex, good way at looking at it though. |

I have to confess, I'm not keen on pieces where the 'meaning' is so open or vague. I guess I like to have the security that I'm reacting to what the writer intended me to react to, not some accidental happenstance. If it's the writer's intention for open interpretation - then it's a little like word association, isn't it?
'The child's laughter during Hiroshima' is a striking image - but I doubt those who were there had time to smile - perhaps you're referring to others.
I found the rhythm very stop start. In terms of flow, lines four and five seemed to begin a little pulse, but then it broke off again.
Tried hard with this - the images are strong but for me, they need tying together more coherently.
Phil | Well,

It struck me when reading it that you have written down, over some time, lines you think are interesting and then put them all together.
The individual lines are interesting, and arresting, but they don't seem to lead anywhere, for me at least. |
