Hi Peach
Urgh very vivid description of waking with a hangover
Quote:Dawn wakes, the armpit of all hours <<-- full stop after wakes, maybe start a new verse with "the armpit of all hours" cos it is such a strong line.
breaks me, dizzy and staggering,
from my self-centeredness,
as a boxer, lunges center-ring,
fists clenched, anxious
for the bell, as impact, <<--maybe a line break here
a worm coil sensation
winds my intestine
like a rubber-band,
the minute hand, in my head
reels animatedly, as a propeller,
while on the wall, it crawls, <<--full stop
as the line of greasy sweat
snailing snails down my back <<--I know you like rhythm but perhaps have it jagged to balance with the sensations in a hangover
the disparity
a ping-pong ball
ricochets in my brain
-the knee jerk-response <<--you don't need this cliche here
ramming electricity through me,
frying my organs, so that I am
compelled to head to the head
grappling, hands pressed,
to the seat, for support
ears -vibrating with the echo of heaves
bouncing off the walls,
inadequate-to quell
the jet thrust shock of vomit,
as sickened again, I watch myself,
flushed
down the toilet <<-- love the ending
