This is really great. I can feel the push and pull in these lines. The conflict is palpable.

WOW!! This was a powerful one, Jack…
It’s such a vicious circle… and how wonderfully and in such a stark manner have you described it!!
Dark and gruesome… but it is the harsh reality anyway!!!
Thanks for sharing this piece, my friend..

I like the passion in this one. I can feel your heart. My favorite stanza was
“Some toiled, challenged
by memories, and vast temptations,
by all things filthy and evil,
yet delicious. Beautiful and filling.”

“I have not yet mastered the art
of being a friend, a lover, a husband,
a keeper of possessions, or a Saint,”

when do we truly master all those arts? or do we indeed prise open doors locked on us?
when i stop to think, i realise no matter all the pain in the world, if we “don’t take this personally”, it can’t hurt us.
memories will never go away.

wow. glad to be back to read this poetry. love this piece. it resonates somewhere.

“They are me and you.
We, who couldn’t hear it,
or who would
choose not to, in favor
of the voices in our heads”

ahh, how many times did we fail to listen to our hearts when our heads were telling us another story?
