where you see and feel it

Frank Prem

in the stance

 

in the posture

 

in a bulging
of the eyes

 

in the veins

 

in the breathing

 

in the rapidness
of the pacing

 

in the tone

 

in the volume

 

in the words
polluting the air

 

in the clench

 

in the knuckle

 

in the sudden disappearance
of distance

 

in the defiance

 

in the roar

 

in the foaming flecks
at the corner of the mouth

 

in the beat

 

in the rate

 

in the throat sensation
of a leaping heart

 

in the exhaustion

 

in the tremble

 

in the sense of
oh

oh my god

 

oh oh

    Surreal indeed - very Dahliesque - great work Frank.

    • Frank Prem

      Hi Michael. A nasty incident at work. Surreal as buggery, if you'll excuse the french.

      Glad it translates onto the page ok.

      Thank you.

      • Michael Edwards

        Thanks for that bit of info - the poem makes great sense and this throws a new light on it - like it even more now.

        What's going on there? Will I swoon if you tell me?! heehee.

        • Frank Prem

          Hiya O. A near physical assault. Lots of aggression, fist-in-face.

          I nearly swooned. Yes, indeed.

        • orchidee

          Ahh, someone having a bad hair-day? A tad upset?! Erm, I've dampened down the emotion in this like a wet blanket! lol.

            I work as a psychiatric nurse, O. Sometimes it gets a bit grim. Not usually.

          • Louis Gibbs

            A psychiatric nurse, in a world going mad! There must be a long line at your door, Frank. I don't envy you, but do admire you. Thanks for sharing this one with us.

            • Frank Prem

              You're welcome Louis, and your summation is apt. Glad you enjoyed.

              Frank, I did need to read the comments to understand the poem. So well written! Love the structure too!

              • Frank Prem

                Thank you Fred. Grim moments translate well to poetry, I think.

                Glad you enjoyed the peice.
