Poetry / there is something

there is no start to this no start only pressing shoulder blades to the wall and the grind of muscle and fat against bone tongue thick gagging on each breath.
there is this thing and i can’t name it and it has no head for a name to sit on and my tongue gags me. hollow painted easter egg yolk and slime blown out two small holes and all these insides are gone just walls and flesh that won’t come off bones but i dig with fingernails the red of captured skin.
there is something inside of me there is something watch the echo of it inside of me there is something.

Very cool, its an image that Van Gogh would be prond of. Honestly I have no idea how I can critique this into a this is wrong-this is right, take it as you shall but thats very impressive if you ask me.

a great poem, sadly it needs to be set out. New lines, commas, punctuation, all that sort of thing, so your reader is able to feel your thoughts, heed your warnings etc.

This is written in an interesting style, and it works well. I like the comparison of the subject’s body with a Ukrainian egg. While it isn’t clearly mentioned, i think you could also take from the comparison that the subject’s body is fragile, like the egg.

Personally, I enjoyed this piece a lot, and wouldn’t change anything about it, except perhaps extending it.

This was difficult to read, even with the reviewer note in mind.  For this being a free-though piece, without puncuation or grammer, it still read confused.  There is a siginifant difference between writing conscience stream of though and writing down a jumble of words.  I did like this section…it has no head for a name to sit on and my tongue gags me.

I don’t have much experience of prose poetry but I think it is a good piece. I especially like the last line it raises so many questions. Would be happy to review any other pieces if you’d like.
