Gun Bubble Drunk

Memory’s echo, delicate ash Throat pinned frozen held sacred in shadow Into winter’s mouth, silence descend Beautiful annihilation, bound in light I Wander in the theater of the rising sun Gun bubble drunk (knowing that) Darkest is the heart before the distant storm Darkest is the storm under the distant heart Storm heart Heart storm Violence conceive Violence reborn World fire voice inflect life desire breath neglect

Your title here, Mat, is a creative pull in, a word combination that resonates with today's news when we read stories of youth using guns to settle scores. A compelling read follows a thought provoking title. Be well. Brian

This is how I feal today,a sharp intake of breath held in preperation to roar my long tamped discontent.

You seem to have that trouble breathing because that and your life's desire do not match. A beautiful, if dark piece... powerful diction

Now there's a phrase I've never heard before. Did you create it?

i did (i bet it is out there though) - originally was thinking bubble gun drunk, just playing with unique phrasings and internal rhyme patterns - rearranged because i thought gun bubble flowed better - for me, i like sound combinations as much as creating unique phrasings - wrote this on a feeling but not sure where i was going with it - thank you for reading

What a creative and deeply intriguing write this is mat, i especially loved these two lines the most “ Darkest is the heart before the distant storm Darkest is the storm under the distant heart” well phrased and said and so true and hits strong! Pleasure always reading your work.
