Short Story / The Paper Train Station

It was here, near the ticket counter that I first noticed her. She stood there, an older woman with powdery hair, dressed in threadbare garments that looked as though they were draped over her slight figure to make her seem more significant. She held a large basket that she reached into as if it were bottomless, filled with scraps of paper to the brim, some crumpled, some cleanly folded, there were papers in business envelopes with typed out addresses, some on floral stationary, and some on l...

Today I feel as though the silence, apart from the sound from the air vents,is deafening me... I feel that if someone were to say a single word to me, My heartbeat would come to a grinding halt from the shock. All the while There are black ants in every crevice. Lurking around the paper clips,and assembling in droves amongst the scattered paper pilings... Perhaps they're calculating the syllables that will bring my demise. I don't know If I'd mind much. The dull lights overhead look on, Voyeu...

My skin rejects the poison that my tongue invites So I wear moth wings to cover the welts on my torso. Kneading my pelt with cracked fingertips I am awaiting the snap of my spine, Hurling another vertebrae to the sky, And yesterday they fed me through rice paper straws Telling me that I may have to illustrate my death. A pen with no ink… This is the blind mire where my sanity runs thin, Unlike the graphite in my veins Telling of women who rinse in tureens, And throw their children into the fo...

My belly is full of shadows tall and slim, a lurking presence under the skin. I take comfort in the puppetry on my torso walls from nimble fingers lacing hunger within my abdomen, with one hand on my heart and one on my stomach. When the night looms I feel uncertain. His form is seeping slowly through the pale skin on my sides as he widens the gape and void within. My steady hand wanders while my shadow rests forcing me awake. With a glance at the aftermath I shout the lipids into to the mirr...

Haiku/Senryu / Metaku
Locked
Poetry / Chimney
Well... it aches for more description even for it's length. I know that it's a very short piece, and I like the simplicity but I think adding more sensory description would add to the potency. Thanks for sharing.
Poetry / Native
For being so short this poem is quite potent. The imagery is quite nice. "Women like these, having no selves (only slick filmy rock coatings), are rivers of oil, are foreign..." it's just quite striking. Thank you. I enjoyed reading it.
Poetry / MEET HIVE
This somehow reminds me of a poem I once wrote about a bird I found that had fallen out of its nest... I find this piece very honest and striking. The title is very suitable to the mood of the piece, it would have been equally effective as "Meat Hive" paralleling the line "Between corpse and nest, meat, hive" but bringing it into another context all together as an image of an actual hive constructed of meat, which is a bit grotesque, but that's how I like it ;)
Haiku/Senryu / Rabbit Tracks In Snow
This is very traditional in terms of haiku. The imagery is a little spotty though. I think it's important to be concise in the 5,7,5 structure because it leaves little room for description so to say,"disappear leaving behind an eagle feather" is a bit confusing opposed to let's say,"now vanish and leave behind an eagle feather"... I don't know if I'm making sense, if not disregard that. Anyway. Really nice concept. It captures a story in a nice haiku.
