Juxtaposition

Grape purple bruises

From velvet jackhammers

In a fuzzy city, baby.

Iron speaks in steel, stolen

Vibrations of dust

Burst soft, found in form.

Now let’s muscle through

Soft grime, the crap that shoots up

The construction of

            Juxtaposition

Is never pretty.

Man with woman is a juxtaposition. That's my interpretation.

Ah, Velvet Jackhammers... This is quite good for such a brief piece. The only thing I'd watch is how jam-packed the poem is with images. Some of the lines feel a little forced, which does make it sound like a exercise (even though it is). Otherwise, I love how beautifully your poetry flows through your laid-back style. It helps with the flow and to be frank, makes it just sound f****n' cool man. Bravo Shalini.
