It’s never enough to walk the walk.
The walk springs heels
heels spring teeth
and the subtle lines–
grace and poise–
they sink their teeth into the eyes
spun in lies routinely filed
hook-line-sinker
for the heart:
flesh always leads astray.

The Waking Den 
So very true!
That’s pretty great right there.
yes flesh will def lead you astray and you will find yoruself far from the path you thought you originally walked…
Sharp and sweet,even as it cuts to the bone.
Just the way I like it 😉
Spun in lies…loved this short but brilliant piece
Every line here flows powerfully into the next. Finely crafted piece!
“Flesh always leads astray” … wow. So true.
So tight! Beautiful craft
Nice ending, and isn’t that the truth 🙂 Those feelings are such a pest sometimes.
We are only human, as they say…
You’re one of the only people who can force me to enjoy freeverse. Another brilliant, if painful piece.
And you’ve a gift for flattery that truly knows how to move a person. I’m glad you enjoy my efforts, Kila. World knows I am stirred at the merest mention of your own!
You have no small credit in that. Who got me out of my shell and sharing my work? None of it would have seen the light of day if it weren’t for you.
🙂 I consider it a service to the world.
