Feel Or Die

morality sits 
on the nose of this 
bitter young man

erotically
impulsively
hands of intrigue
dial his extension

that call, that lure 
from a feral hunter
to a wounded prey 
soliciting capture

as I reach 
for the ignoble
the knees, the elbows 
the betwixt, the between

a door 
to an orifice opens
revealing 
our imminent doom

Thank you always my brother. This little poem sat alone in a notebook for quite sometime before I allowed it to come out and play.

Thank you my friend. What is there to say about a poem that was found at the bottom of a wine bottle?
