interception of perception
no need for contraception—
safety subverts the senses—
no pretenses nor defenses,
tied up in barbed-wire fences,
a thistle thimble
dropped head first,
gravity kills the nimble
and quenches
death’s thirst.

Conception until delivery and head first describes it well on both ends. This poem is well woven with meaning. Nicely done my friend
A strong poem. The poet likely aims to provoke thought about the nature of safety and existence, encouraging me as the reader to consider how my perceptions are shaped by societal pressures and personal fears.
another good write my friend, much enjoyed
Good write T. One has a thirst for spinach - we knows him! lol.
