"Starve" - A Free-Verse Poem
Editing credits go to @damianjayclay
spinning on a tilted axis
cold air sweeps
my trembling skin
spasms
i exude rattled breath
and tears brim
my eyes
tight across my skeleton
stomach grovels
as I do
crying out
for sustenance
lying under a scattering
of stars
darkness
next to a weak fire
Spectacular piece, @xanderslee. This is so visual and so thought provoking.
Thanks! @damianjayclay helped quite a bit. B3 is a genius, I say!
Yes, that’s the going rumor! 😉

I love the style! I feel like I knew you were a poet, but I forgot. :P
I hadn't written poetry in months, haha.
Ahhh. Then I didn't know you were a poet! And I'm a liar!
The world is fake!
I'm going to die alone!!
