not-love

seeking the original confusion, a re-
turn to the irresponsible chaos as a way
out of the dead end of not-love. a self-
ish not-respond, banging, rending having-
come-so-close. anything. Anything! – so
the beating the pain to hollow dumb numb-
ness. burying the diabolical pattern of love-
not-love.

Golly gosh…wasn’t expecting that…..
The cold hard truth of love not love. Great writing!
Love/not love. It seems some days that not love is winning but I have to believe in the end it will defeat all this darkness.
Chilling, vivid ekphrasis.
Thank you.
Love the phrase “original confusion”–surely a perfect phrase for a reset.
Wonderful. Love the head-banging cadence!
Thanks!
The original confusion..and the wheel just keeps on turning…(k)
Yes. Oh dear.
It surely is a painful thing indeed! Wonderful writing Petru!!
Now I have Jethro Tull’s “This Is Not Love” stuck in my head! Fantastic take on the kmage!

I’m going to remind myself of the song. It’s been decades.
It’s hard to hurt your love, words and thoughts of hurtful blows lead to destruction (1) of that love and eventually (2) of the bad actor him/herself.
Nice write.

Thanks Jim.
Doesn’t get much better than a beautifully composed stream of consciousness poem. Bravo.
Thank you!
A dose of love-not-love can indeed turn one’s world upside down!
