Dirty Love

sorenbarrett

Born as a leak in love

soiled rumpled sheets

a torn private's glove

nursed on dried shrunken teats

 

Raised in a box

each sniffle beaten

shoes without sox

food, rat droppings sweeten

        After reading this poem several times I felt a connection between "born as a leak of love" and "a torn privates glove", perhaps reference to a condom? The result, an unwanted and perhaps abandoned child left in poverty, after dirty love. Stunning write my friend. Or, maybe I've misinterpreted.

          Thank you so much dear Bella. No you are astutely right on target Bella and once again your comments are deeply appreciated.
