A rewrite of "Compost for your garden."

Compost for your garden.


repulsive words spewing onto
your paining grimace.
a lip sneer and your eyes are full of disappointment.
but my silence drives you mad.
jaws tense and teeth clank.
glassy sphere's of emotion 

                                      what's wrong with you?

Eyes that can't see; 
ears that can't hear



I read your story
I've read your story
I write your story 
I've written your story
With a master stroke 
With rain drops and rain drips
and melodies and harmonies
and pliés and pirouettes
and the lacing of our fingers



what do you desire?
unattachment
attachment
system upload
system download
failure to complete task
system failure
reboot


bubbly words
bubbly wounds
pulsation 
fever 
fervor
hate
indifference

should this end this night
did this end this night
several nights end
sunrise, an eternal flame

deep yearning of the compass
yearning for direction,
detection 
lust, love and other allures
buried with the candles of our fathers
and silence.

if forever were a moment 
i would dream
i did dream 
have dreamed
in vain and vanity
under the pale moon
and rigid stars of fallacy and 
ignorance and helplessness
and shame

empowerment and power
to the secret master
an ancient bitterness
ballroom
collar bone
diagram
scam 


But run
infected brain
acidic stomach
all the knowledge of 
worlds unknown
security of the tombs
of the salts of barren lands



a plea
for boundaries and warnings
and fragility of porcelain
the fair hair of a tiger lily; 
100 strokes into the brims of the fire

I'm sorry. I should have said the right thing.
