A Visit To Dr. Frankenstein
I'm not in the best of moods.
Although as a "writer" that doesn't mean there is no reason to write. The challenge is always to write no matter what the mood - good or bad.
This is more of a bullet poem and is probably too cryptic for the outside reader. Nevertheless, this site is about expression and so it is.
There is a strong swear word it but there is a reason for the word appearing.
Frankenstein’s Monster
For mom
No heavy steel stitches or stormy night,
nor a green complexion like rotting pea soup.
No exclamation of ecstatic joy
or thunderous applause
only a yellow bundle frail as new born steps
dropped from a cunt to be
chopped like butcher’s meat
by no more than faceless card,
a speechless present and
three blades slid off the tongue.
Here, black stitches on white lines
the last beats refuse to die.
Frankenstein’s monster lives
Though knows not why.
This might be blunt and it might be angry but there's some fantastic images in here. (I particularly like the third stanza and the `yellow bundle').
The image is very appropriate for the subject matter too. Have you read Shelly's Frankenstein?
"Have you read Shelly's Frankenstein?"
Nope.
I have seen
Mary Shelly's Frankenstein directed by Kenneth Branagh, although not all of it.
