Words are effective ways to
|
1 |
apparently neutralize
|
2 |
the sensations of uncertainty.
|
3 |
|
|
She dispersed herself
|
4 |
amongst a wide vocabulary.
|
5 |
Sometimes stretching
|
6 |
her polyestered syntax
|
7 |
a tad more to give
|
8 |
her neuroses
|
9 |
just a little more wiggle room.
|
10 |
|
|
I saw her once dressed in
|
11 |
a sari of exotic sentences
|
12 |
with a nervous belly
|
13 |
showing in between.
|
14 |
|
|
All centers are pending
|
15 |
perimeters and she
|
16 |
will never tell you.
|
17 |
|
arrest an elusive self in syntax and
when it escapes
worship the words it left behind...

This is interesting. Please explain the connection between borderline and language. You have used 'just' twice in ll 8 & 10 - I would remove the latter. The last 3 lines are magnificent!

thanks. removed the just, justine. this is about someone who has shifted the self from inner to outer, tilted her center towards the power of language as self control or integrity is vulnerable.

lines = borders = words = "control"

this is excellent, but I'm particularly drawn to your treatment of uncertainty,
which to me is tantamount to hope. It is certainty I fear. Someone once kicked me out of his life for believing that, but it still holds true for me.
Anyway, this poem brought back a Dramatic Moment of No Consequence and I thank you for that.
