To be or not to bee
Vipassana said:

a metaphor for being an outcast, a misunderstood creature?

No longer accepted it sits rejected emptiness east and west

Kevin Hulme said:

I think People care more about Bees than Wasps.
If the Bee was abandoned, then it would find Help.

To be or not to bee
Tristan Robert Lange said:

Sore, love this. That image of the wasp on a deserted nest really locks it in. It’s not just empty space…it’s abandonment. Everything that once gave it purpose is gone, and it’s left with nothing but itself. That lands deep. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛

Ritual
Vipassana said:

It is behind, a smile that we grind our food of the day
Fish or mammal, altars of enamel dedicated to sacrificial prey

That says it all, I think.

Stories
Vipassana said:

A cover song of an angel with lyrics they couldn\'t remember
Auto tuned and pitch corrected his performance they dismember

That says it all, I think.

Dreams of yesterday
Vipassana said:

A mind that will not accept today takes me to dreams distantly
Feelings unburied, not felt for so long, in an ailing heart once so strong

That haunts me.

Tristan Robert Lange said:

Soren, this hits hard…there’s no distance here, no softening. It comes straight at you and stays there. The brutality isn’t dressed up, it just is…and that makes it land heavier. That last turn into reflection just sits there, uncomfortable and real. Powerful write, my dear friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛

Friendship said:

Your writing style has undergone a notable transformation. Your story contains very dark, violent, and horrifying elements, and is both graphic and emotional. This poem grapples with the themes of violence, mortality, and the lasting impact of trauma. It explores the brutal fate of an individual—a man subjected to horrific acts of violence—while highlighting the juxtaposition between physical death and the persistence of emotional and psychological pain. Yet it revolves around the aftermath of extreme violence and the haunting memories that linger even when a person is gone. You painted a graphic picture of violence and suffering.

Thomas W Case said:

Raw, relentless, and unflinching—this one hits like a fist to the gut.
The horror lingers on the page, and your voice carries the ashes of memory with grim precision.

arqios said:

We’ve been watching reruns of Bones and yesterday’s episode just happened to be a guy stuffed into the trunk of a car. That has compounded the punch of your poem. Most touched🕊️🙏🏻

A fine write. It\'s amazing how the Past figures in Dreams, where Parents and other Folk past still live.
