Writhe in the Recall - Brian Burns

Words uttered,

deeds unfettered,

land hard in their recall.

The fury of an exposed nerve.

Like that careless caress

of an inquisitive tongue.

The wince, the shudder,

then the silent thunder

echoing like a reverie.

You get to relive those moments

all teeth on aluminum foil.

Feeling forced

to knead and gnash.

Forever live in those imperfect moments.

When you allowed yourself to be free.

Bangs is a literary zine hot for big feelings, emerging writers, and lazy Sunday readers.
