Kafka Turned Round

just a few lines

Dead as a fallen log,

but turned into a human.

A gutbag of small pumps,

red rivers and spilled salt.

Drains, curves and arches

as in a Roman town.

Forced back into life,

stranger than an insect,

less noble. Lock the door.

A very visual write. I enjoyed the images and what your created with your words.

Very interesting viewpoint...I like how you personified garbage using adjectives and figurative language.

Sometimes you totally lose me with your writes. Valentine

i feel like i should be a student again...i would want to have your poems in my textbook so that i could write essays explaining all that your poems show me...

i go places with your words.

i like it as is, Leslie...but then my philosophy is always, "less is more" with poetry...
allows that wonderful space for relating.
