to give sparingly
is what I do well
better to keep
the essential self
hoarded for leaner times
but you
for you I break
easy as bread
thrown down
and offered up
without reservation
***second time I have used bread breaking (stealing from myself). ย Think it works better here.
Strong! Beautiful! Verticality markers – up and down are cool! Freud would have tons to say here!
…I am sure he would. Unpeeling meaning from poetry, dreams, and those typos–everything bare under those sharp eyes of Freud. And now you have done it! I thought I was done for the day, poetry-wise ๐ Now, I want to write something about Freud, something about dancing a strip tease for the man…I will let that one stew & bubble for a while, methinks.
Ummm, yeah. Freud. Right! LOL ๐ Anyway you ‘slice it’….you ain’t no white bread susan!
LMAO!

I love this. I enjoy the freedom of poetry, how it allows for imagery to take on new shapes from day to day.
Thank you so much–me too–it is an evolving joy for me ๐
