Poetry / time capsule (eargasm)

if i were a whisper,
i’d graze upon the lobe of your ear
and linger there until you grinned
as the sweeping breath of my
sweet little somethings
clambored forward into the canals of your
retrospection.

i’d tickle and flick
the woven thicket of flesh that
beat beat beats
against the wall of your imagination;
call and seduce
the coils of your cochlea
so they may unravel the secrets
of the universe within you;

maybe, if i love you like you do,
i’ll rest upon the stirrup and
slam the hammer against the goddamn anvil until
i can fashion a frame for the oval window
and look out to see
what you’ve been thinking.

if i were a whisper,
i’d somehow still be brazen
with my soft wind of breath.

I like this for the most part, it’s clever and sweet, erotic and interesting. There are some places that could use some fine tuning here and there, line breaks could use some adjustments, S1L4 might be better said “as my breath swept sweet little somethings…” a little cleaner perhaps. L6 break after ‘canals.’ How do cochlea unravel secrets of her universe? A stretch there. S3L1 is awkward, what do you mean? It sounds as if you already love her. And as she loves herself? Big assumption. Oh, take out goddamn in this poem, it just doesn’t seem to belong in here. Last stanza begins anew with a whisper but so does S1 and they don’t relate or tie together…reads as though you hadn’t used whisper before, but otherwise great job!

This is beautiful. This is so very well written.

Stanza three catches me. I don’t have much knowledge (read:intrest) in anvils, so the stirrup bit is odd for me – though I really like the image of the rest.

I also get caught b/c I’m trying to decide if you’re inside or outside of head. I get several images – looking into eyes, out from eyes, into ears (like cartoons or children’s beliefs) but none of those quite work. So.

Love you like you do – a little awkward. I had to re-read it to make sure. That’s not a bad thing, necessarily. I’d consider flopping a word or two, at least. (that is- ‘consider, at least’ not ‘consider at least’ BTW)

This is lovely. Really. Go Team You.

Love, love.

Love, love.
