The Daggers
Like a cactus
Come the words
From your mouth.
Pricking and poisening
An aleady
Injured soul.
Awakened
From a peaceful slumber
Not consitered.
Pellets hit
My soft and tender
Skin.
Moving slowly
Looking for a shield.
But there is none.

Poetry is not a turning loose of emotion, but an escape from emotion.
T. S. Eliot (1888-1965) American-English poet and playwright.
