Anatomy of Agony

Tristan Robert Lange

Mind-expanding moments  
Form in between the crevices  
That lay dormant inside
The trauma-laden existence.
 
Tormented screams of hell  
Form in the mouths  
Of puss-filled cantelopes  
Rolling in the deep.
 
Round the robin  
The earthworm works  
Through the dirt and shit  
That defines one's life.
 
Maggots layer the truth  
Like wiggling rice  
In a quaking steamer  
Venting out its animus.

    Dark images fill this piece with foreboding and a sense of finality.

    I may not have interpreted this the intended way, but even so I love the meaning.

      Thanks for your comment! I always love hearing your thoughts on my work. I'm intrigued that you feel you might not have interpreted it as intended - there's no right or wrong way to interpret poetry, in my opinion. Each reader brings their own experiences and perspectives to a piece. I'd be really fascinated to hear your interpretation if you're willing to share. Your unique viewpoint could provide new insights into my own work. And as always, I'm glad the poem resonated with you in some way!

      Looking forward to reading more of your amazing work too!
