[New-Poetry] Sanity by Raven Smith

[Rebuketheworld at aol.com]

I wanted to offer this to the loop. I wrote this last night, a  rough first 
draft but having seen so many poems and learning along the way, I am  playing 
around with line breaks. I just wanted some feedback from the loop.  ~Raven 
Sanity  by Raven Smith 
Dispensable sanity, how dare you cry  again.
That bulldozer took you from me.
Insurmountable loss engaging  memories
flogging me 
with their unconscionable words, spoken.
One  after the other, one after the other
this black hole undertones  the
swallowing surrogate in my mind. 
Give me my arm so I can touch  it.
Give me my leg so I can feel it.
Why interrupt me fool?
You, the plotters of  distortion’s
twirling untroubled hair, tasting
the delights  of victims
where bellies nourish empty, 
human garbage they say.
Tongues licking their  facade 
where flakes of limp souls have  fallen,
sanity tried.   
My tender scraps, how 
could I dismiss  you?
Fear,             you the  precision
of my  repressed  hope
languishes still
but where has the other been?

Engaging sanity, my dear.
