thrum.

a hum

a sound

a reverb needle 

set to max

a thousand voracious dragons 

purring throatily 

in deepset glee

as tightly wound tattoo needles

score the curls of my brain

with avidly ratcheted inkwork

you ever watch a loom , clicking, whirling , bobbins spinning .. you sit there long enough and you hear the music , I always hear the music in your poetry

Honestly, I am not stalking you.....
I just saw this on my homepage 3 seconds after it was posted.

For some reason this poem reminds me of a good metal song, but also of a string quartet.
That's pretty good, kiddo.
