iam thekiller

i am a disease. i am killing.
set on spunk. cooking junk.
black and blue purple hues
on fat frigid and floppy thighs.
no more. you hate monger.
special hate breeder. killing time.
wasting away. to the break of dawn.
never ending closure.
i am glad you started killing flunkies.
'yeah, its a bust!'
i hear them speaking in the dark
laughing at laguna national park
never separated from jesus christ
'oh, is that all today then?'
don't expect anything less than
perfection. disease is a commodity.

salvo,
I feel like this is just on the edge of working but then doesn't. It doesn't completely connect. I really doubt if I could explain why. I can say that "cooking junk" feels out of place and "junk" too vague. I would like more very specific imagery, like a "lysol bottle" or something. I like your very specific images best. I think this poem could use one or two but it isn't really easy to give you recommendations. I hope this helps anyway.

Actually, I have just come back to this much later and find it is working right now. Strange. Junk is working too. Perhaps it is a mood or time of day thing. I still like your very specific images best though. I think that maybe I don't like "I am a disease" at the very beginning. I think I skipped over that slightly on this later read. I might like "I am the killer, killing". I don't really have any idea. I think this is more of a guess than anything.
Regards,
Skylor
