Crunched

Ragged Bastard

boot worn as hats

every angle

a sure blow

socks peel back

eyes swollen shut

speak against again

you have been warned

 

A silly giggled girl

hidden out of view

what had bees stirred

took away wind

unlike a whupin'

set foot to pursue

a touch that soothes

content / context.

I heard about two people who argued which was better content or context. I thought content at first. I didn't understand why anyone would go with context, I mean someone who barely speaks the language still has a solid story to tell, right? I thought about it a long time, and now I finally say context, mostly for pieces like this. You've taken things that weren't immediately beautiful and made them interesting. Thank you for this.
