7 swans

Seven swans are swimming, in and out of my thighs.
Your hands are hot with the fire that burns behind your eyes.
Floating on a dusty cloud, give myself to tragedy.
Sick twisted bile of this sacrifice.
Living forever in a pudgy non-dream.
Aloneness-oneness.
Can't relate...... Hesitate.
Taste Familiar?.
Don't worry there is a sweet spoonful of sugar to help it all go down.

I wrote this poem when I was 17, so almost 20 years ago. I think I just liked, at the time, the alliteration of Seven Swans Swimming.

Honestly, it was very confusing. But at the same time very well written. I'm still curious about what seven swans have to do with the poem.

Another typo - Aloneness - if you mean being alone. I don't quite get the 7 swans, but different strokes for different folks. Good luck. Janet

Spelling errors aside, this is good. I like it very much.

Yes, I know. I have just been getting the time to edit. I really just wanted to get it out there. Alas, I should be embarrassed at all the errors. It will improve as I continue to review.
