THROAT

By Quinn Forskitt

Hard fast, rapid relief of rather intense emotions. Gutteral
 
The throat is crying
 
Tight. Tight as can be.
 
It only wants to be loose
 
Or it'll wind up tighter
 
Tightened by a noose
 
With a chair slipping under
 
In a crowded restaurant
 
With waiters, waitresses, shocked
 
Glass shatters with life experiences
 
The cheap crystal singing
 
Worthless without a throat
 
Caught in a witch hunt
 
Gazeless stare returned
 
Strangers walking, friends walking
 
Day to day lives finished for a weekend
 
Intoxicated
 
Incarcerated in bodies
 
Let slip the dogs of war
 
In their mouths, rumours true and not
 
Are bred like prostitutes
 
Tiny, tiny fetus, again
 
Strangled by its junkie noose
 
Funnily enough that's all I want
 
Nourishment from someone who
 
Doesn't know that
 
They love me
