fisfulls of oragami please

tact and smooth space splatter floors
fixed bells with bad clouds
it rains like say
and hoards all the fools
as green towers breach the sky for tea
the sun wrecks dreams for sunday
it pines the silence
it breaks everywheres meditation
paper that cracks away the words that butt
a delicate way on a set afternoon
is punched with violet
like god and hand that pinches the book
sameplace kneaded with fork lines and beaver
maybe taken to as far away near
cry maybe in borrowed streams
watch two waves hit and carve out jam
only to build castles upon an opened chest
crush some bones
end the real by walking home
fold and refold a perfect line
paste it all with needles and teasers
craft something on garbage day and throw it gone
here to pull apart fingers mended by stone
please right in moments ago
please forever with bread for birds
please not here danced the pathetic pole
smile and be destroyed today

Hello, Subtle here for a review on review day! I think I can guess why this work has so little reviews, not because is bad (because is brilliant) but because of how intimidating it is. There is little to nitpick here and you use language beautifully here, I get a feel of you Juxtapositioning different words and playing around language and somehow you have pulled it off. I'm impressed, it takes flair to do that.

Seriously, you write achingly well with language, especially in poetry as you paint the most vivid and palpable emotions.

Though like EmeraldEyes said, I think your poem could use some punctuation it would flow better and help the readers to understand it better.

Overall, great poem!

Hello. XD
I like this work but I don't understand why you haven't used more punctuation, that would make the reading a lot easier because it flows into one HUGE thing at the moment. However, content wise it was good.

Particularly:

'cry maybe in borrowed streams
watch two waves hit and carve out jam'

You use language well.

Just add some punctuation and you will be all there.
I also like the font, it was very scripty.
