You mention The Awakening and I think for that reason I'd like it to be stronger, more passionate, but then again you do add wine and that's got to confuse things a bit
full of idioms,
waking chalk - and dust bunnies.
The clearing out, of a dustbin mind. -- I'm not convinced that the proximity of dust bunnies/dustbin works as effective wordplay
The Awakening, minus Kate Chopin,
but added to wine and an addled (once errant), female. -- don't really need the comma before female
Reigned in, or re-awakened, -- reined?
which one fits without binding??
Aloof, yet tethered, I am here
and writing
and arousing suspicion
and counting out dust mites in sunrays. -- more dust, I'm still not convinced... should it be motes?
His jabberwoky cross impales me, -- jabberwocky
splits my head, and tumbles scenes.
Lifetimes.
I am, I was, I shall be.
But what?
The weight of a single shadow. -- gorgeous closing
I understand that part of the reason for the confusion IS confusion, or indecision.To be honest, the best lines are the first two and the last one. Those three make a poem themselves. The middle is just not happening for me, sorry.
It could be worse
