Challenge
This is a collaboration prompt. Offer up a piece (poem or flash fiction) to be revised by another person on prose. (you may tag your preferred revisers). I want to see both the original and the revised version(s)! (is this confusing? okay, first time I am posting a prompt here)
Mind Games Two - Kiss of Death (collaboration and revised version of @ruffmiriam ’s poem, Mind Games)
I shovel your love in grave at my feet,
hiding behind your bedroom eyes,
sewer seeking lowest level in lies.
I hang by my neck from a rope,
swinging toward you, then swing back,
always yearning for your visits late
at night, when you smell of sex.
Tossing my insides out, leaving
my mind in utter disarray as I moan
please stay, please go, show me mercy,
revisiting same old crippled highway.
Love me in your heat, defend me
from your cheat, mangy dog in heat,
ferry me to heaven – endless delusion
until great divide – kiss of death.
