Honey Binge by ~boundlessgravity:iconboundlessgravity:

Categories Literature > Poetry > Human Nature > Open




I went out last night and got starburned,
My skin is so pale anymore, living like a hermit
In the hive with many chambers.

I went out last night and got real jelly’royaled,
I ate the red hootch that makes for hussy queens
Drugged up and black, with spat tots.

I went out last night on a honey binge
I went out shambling in my great bear coat that moves
like a shagged ghost over these once-guilt bones.

I’ve got you on my face, my fingers stick together,
                I’ve got you on my hands,
                                    my poor lips stuck together.

fortunately, i think, this'll be my last wallow in the sweet muck of summer for a little while.

At least in terms of writing about it - excess is the most beautiful part of restraint.

Strangely, some of those words become poetic. See, that's why you're good. Like a lot.

I have the impression that its extremely sexual, however it may be just my opinion. :)

It does lend a certain feeling of sadness. Something along the lines of being unsatisfied or being disgusted with a certain sensation...

Anyways, my 2 pesos

As Always, Anito!

Cheerios!

this is a wonderful allegory of sexual tension and the almost hedonistic atmosphere of summer. the only thing that struck was the line My skin is so pale anymore -- possible omittance of the word 'not'?

No, no "not". The speaker is starburned because his skin is so pale.

Kind words, thanks - hedonism rocks.

:peace:

"I’ve got you on my face, my fingers stick together,
I’ve got you on my hands,
my poor lips stuck together."

i love that.

ah, in that case i think your use of 'anymore' in a positive sense must be regional.
