Nothing that sophisticated MMT. It is a response to a hate poem written on behalf of all "the crap poets" thus labelled by a vicious disfunctional but popular poet.
I suppose it is hard not to respond to vitriolic raving. I chose to ignore your explanation though and interpret in a different way; where the cycle of addiction and harm becomes impossible to break.
A powerful poem. Open to lots of speculation on meaning. Glad I read your comment then re-read the poem. Just tonight I met a colleague who was so filled with anger and negativity, just listening made me feel ill. And I pondered how toxic it is to be in negative company. Your poem is a perfect expression of that. Thank you.
I am feeling oppression and hopelessness from this piece, which, I presume, is precisely what you intended.

ReplyDeleteDark.
ReplyDeleteAll I can think of the the Black Widow--full of toxin and murderous thoughts. There is a dark beauty in this piece.
ReplyDeleteA poem that is as wounding and maiming as its topic. Remarkable...
