biting into terra firma,
tasting frozen roots and tubers
with galvanized teeth
this place
is the last place
no other memory makes sense anymore
.....you know the more I read this opening the more I like it....the sounds are so satisfying...never mind the meaning. The 't' alliteration I have already mentioned, but there is also the 'sssss' sound from galvanized/this/place/last/place/makes/sense....I think much of my enjoyment of poetry is based on such things.
