Description the capillaries where a bruise once
decorated your skin purple
is always going to ache a little more
than the rest of you
a reminder of the way fingers burnt
pieces of modern art into your body
and i think that's why i find myself
pressing doves into my bones at midnight
praying for some kind of purity
to eat me from
the inside
out

Wow, was not expecting that ending...supposed to be symbolic, I presume.
Never read anything like this. It's breathtaking...really...
Wish I could write like this, I do. >,<

oh my goodness! thank you so much.

yes! symbolic. it was also why i used doves, and things.
they're viewed as pure and what not.
just a tiny tidbit of it! there's more, but yeah idk.

THANK YOU GOSH THAT MEANS SO MUCH
my poetry professor has been riding down on me
because of my semi-abstract way of writing.
she doesn't think it's too good.
so your words make me smile (:

Yeah! Great!

Awh, jeez, that's not true at all!
Not too good? That's phooey! Pah!

If anything I would expect you to be your poetry teacher's favourite. It's really their loss!
