Ever deal with a toxic individual?

Question

Fall

Your whine- It chills

It spills-staining excess

Over gilded cups

Tarnishing the etchings

Forming your own patterns

As your monologue

Falls from your lips

Your poison

It flows-it slinks

Into the community well

It swallows the electric

Tangled in your rue

We play our shadow puppets

In your one woman show

Twisted origami

Animals created

To turn on each other

Serrated teeth dig the meat

Cleanly off our bones

Yet you still

Pick our brains

Hang your dirty laundry

On your tainted lines

The mildew smell

Overwhelms us

Aftershocks tremble

Shaking the foundation

Uprooting the cement

Your bitterness is grinding

Digging into the calcium

Shooting fish in a barrel

Flopping around

In stagnant waters

Hook us in our mouths

As we lend our ears

Where do your sleeping

Dogs lie?

Chained in your disdain

Locked up

In your tower

Throw your iced hair over

Rescue the temptress again

Answer 5

I read this three times and each time I appreciated it even more. There is so much pathos and power in your words, and there are some astonishing lines...such as "Where do your sleeping Dogs lie?", "Hook us in our mouths As we lend our ears"and "We play our shadow puppets In your one woman show". I have had people like this in my life-still do. This is a well thought out poem, beautifully constructed.  Thank you.
