I wrote this poem for the #ds106 Daily Create, which asked about unusual food combinations, and I went with words instead …
Chewing on words
a poem’s rough edges
cuts the tongue, barbed
irony abounds, jagged with
reminders to go slow or
pay the pricethe script informs
how one must speak the words
dense, disturbed, distant,
a mixed emotional concoction
of removalthis prose tastes abandoned,
a story from one age eaten
more than morsel, if one cuts
the edges off to find the center
often hiddenSwallowing these lines
Peace (and poems),
Kevin
