A. B. (leaningonstrident) | 17 comments Dubstep (literature & fiction)

Split the vaccine into three pieces lacking the fourth
mournful tone of spinal cord,
snake-like conversion of noise
and industrial scenery is complete
to dissipate it all, all that's lacking the fourth piece
and all that was once tidy and clean.

The vaccine kicks in bottles of poisonous waterfalls
as the fourth part alleviates the pain of the fake chronicles
depicting fictitious cheerful factories.
Altogether they follow the fourth way:
the compromise,
the silk embraced by steel,
the spinal cord regaining its longitude
through the mournful adjectives of a submissive life.

fair enough:))


message 13: by Rosalyn (new)

Rosalyn Leigh (batistebespeaks) maybe not paralysis. im thinking of 'reborn'or coming up from something sad, bad or traumatic. you know...the line "spinal cord regaining its longitude" sounds like "I stood up straight and stood tall" this poem makes me think of someone regaining their strength after many tries of falling down or being put down. the lmention of vaccines throughout the poem seems like its metaphorical for all of the tries and fails of the person's past as trying to get back on their feet again. do i sound even remotely close to what you were getting at astrid?

Icefire *Completely lost* | 7 comments *Mouth drop* I love this. I think it's like some kind of cure for people who's spine has broken?


message 15: by Amina (new)

Amina  (journalistam) Ok wow. I need to get my brain checked. why didn't I think of that?!

not...really, but it's your approach so I can't tell, my job was done once I finished writing the thingy

Yes you do, however what you're saying doesn't have to be the same as my intentions. Nicely said though :) I was actually thinking about acceptance rather than rebirth, acceptance of an ambiguity which will never seize to let go in any respect, so that all that is left is just to imagine there still is a possibility of resurrection. It's about letting things be and become without future involvement.

yeah...that completely makes sense. and in that case, what your actually saying makes the poem seem like a tragedy. it's like saying that we have to let the world just be the way that it is which is tragic within itself because as we all know...the world is a f@cked place. why should we just let it be? (that's rhetorical)

Just take it as a random thought for an artistic purpose, nothing pragmatic whatsoever.
