writhe and twist
spasms of simple muscle

heat, light,
electricity, auras,
biorhythms, train whistles,

Wow, very well done!
Thank you!
I like the way you captured so many things with only a few well chosen words. This one hit home for me.
Thank you. I’m glad something in it could make a connection.
Excellent! Takes me back to when all your poems were untitled. Brilliant combination of words like a recipe that shouldn’t work but tastes divine.
thank you
sometimes I can’t come up with a title that gets close to encapsulating the poem. which is probably because i still don’t know what i’m doing.
I can do titles – it’s the rest of it I find hard. Apparently, amazing titles aren’t enough!
People have unreasonable expectations.
