Must

October 02, 2017


My 
Must
 started
early
earlier
than most

Came
in
screeching
hot
leaving
thick
sanguine
promise
stains
on
my
sheets

Flowed
unfiltered
angst
against
my
spiral
bound
secrets

Tugged
stylus scalpel 
against
abandoned
sinew

Severed
familial
keloid
ties

Now

My
Must
smiles

She serves
Borgia's
best
wine
in
old lace 
paper
goblets
etched
with
No. 2
lead

  1. I see the difference from this poem and adding My Must throughout. Both are powerful but I think the way you wrote it in the comments on OctPoWriMo is more powerful. Well done!
