Poetry Poem by Thomas Rickarby

Poetry

Rating: 5.0


Poetry is a fireplace to bask in.
It’s warmth awakens wounds we thought
we had cauterized; A hot knife
skimming calluses and peeling back
dead skin, as a farmer tilling earth,

till it hits a vein of rock, a nerve.

poetry is peeling over the foreskin to feel the magic of all the senses
