It’s Poetics Tuesday over at the dVerse Poets Pub. Our host, Mish has given us the task of selecting one of the movie quotes listed above and incorporate it into a poem of any style.
I’ve chosen, “I wish I knew how to quit you” – Brokeback Mountain, 2005 –
I wish I knew how to quit you.
You’re like an addiction
I don’t want to kick —
a safety net with a gaping hole
a life raft decorated
with shark bait.
My head says run! Go!
But my heart says
Stay. Stay.
And my love for you
rages like wildfire
begging to be put out.
But the only fire hose
is knotted and kinked.
O, please, please show mercy!
If you ever cared:
Quit me.
aka, The Abject Muse
