Just For Today

Just for today I don’t want to write, tidy up, wash clothes, anticipate future

and ponder past prose.  My pretty little cunt wants to escape to a simple,

sweet subservience in a place where no one knows about my non-existence.

 

I want to be fed, taught, posed, pushed and pulled with or without clothes

gently abusing the ghost that embers in my heart.  I want to be told to get

dressed or undressed, sit and rest, ready to be photographed when asked.

 

A studio above rooftops that holds light, and no downward flight that spirals

towards pain and blackness in my mind. To be with or without care about what

I feel or what fate holds. To be the model and the muse. To let go. Just for today.

Well done. Some superb lines throughout, finely crafted. I especially appreciate 'To be the model and the muse.' - like a definition of the ARTISTIC LIFE in one gulp.

Hurrah for your poetry form too. I have used this structure also, for several works.

Only for today
keep this space
hidden from view
when the time
comes around again
grab the moment
do it again.

A stimulating essay into the concept of "letting
it go" and leaving, if only temporarily, a
mundane and humdrum existence.
