I Want the World To Stop Moving

I want to bend my fingers so far back, I feel the nails on my wrist bone Crunch them into fists until fingertips pass through the other side Scream in agony and retch until I my heart stops screaming I want to bend my fingers so far back, I feel the nails scrape against the wrist bone ...So far back I'll finally be free to live in the past

I am feeling the urge to go back and read poetry from earlier writing of my favorite poets today and this is the one I opened of yours Charmane. I truly enjoyed reading it today and it is one of your best. Love, Carol
