Self Portrait, Every Poem Is A. Poem by Daniel Y.

Self portrait, every poem is a.

a handprint left on
__________on cave walls.
exposure of something personal.
__________imperfect photograph of the minding.
scissoring hugs and benedict kiss
__________Descartes and demarcate,
blowing my brains out with metaphilosophy.
__________like jackson pollock on the inside.

every poem betrays me and loves me intimate.
The vulnerable jacket called skin with
bruises and cigaretted deep;
The scars and pimples,
the sins and wars,
snowman me.
