Strange...

It is like our situation here
(between you and me)
inside this big, white room
skinning lust and
carelessness.

A normal event of
beautiful incarnation
is happening, but
less popular than a spider
living dead on
one corner of the ceiling.

We are lost again.

    Mmmmm. Yes. The word combination of "skinning lust and carelessness" followed by the dead spider... fabulous!

    interesting...the white room to me makes me think of the sanitorium...a bit of madness...skinning lust gives this a cool grit too...and no blood sucker as the spider in the corner....

    If only there was not that feeling of being lost! If only the feeling of a 'beautiful incarnation' would win out somehow! If only....

    Spidery corners fade into nothingness when the magic of the dance rules...

    I loved the detailing and the way you ended it. Kind of leaves the reader in mystery of what happens next.

    It is great to read your poetry again, Kelvin. Hope the feeling of being lost soon fades away. Less popular does not mean bad.
