| that searing truth

Aziel
| i would readily | 1 |
tattoo upon | 2 |
my sealed eyelids | 3 |
the truth of day, | 4 |
hoping for the needle to | 5 |
pierce | 6 |
my delicate, eager skin | 7 |
to allow | 8 |
some warm sunlight | 9 |
to peer through | 10 |

This is good Aziel--very strong mtaphorically. The only thing I would change is "so" in line 8. I don't think it's needed.

nice image... is it yours totally? it's worked well: the wording as an object allows just enough light to come through the edges of the phrases.

I sear my steak,
seal in the juice.
I wish this train,
had a sexy calaboose.

Paul--
changed it, it was unnecessary.
Joey--
Yes, totally mine.
Unknown--
GOD DAMMIT I WANT STEAK NOW.

Not too shabby, kiddo.
But your eyes should be wary of needles, because you never know which carry ink and which carry thread.

tat's another one you've embedded in our quivering skin -- we get the point -- they make pinhole glasses for viewing the screen and makes things clear again -- this is a little crystal reflecting the light from inside out without a doubt -- nice write Aziel
