Read Richard Siken

If you read poetry, if you don't, read this man.

Wishbone
Richard Siken

You saved my life he says   I owe you everything.
You don’t, I say, you don’t owe me squat, let’s just get going, let’s just get gone, but he’s

relentless,

keeps saying  I owe you, says  Your shoes are filling with your own damn blood,

you must want something, just tell me

I never read unrhyming poetry, but I've got to admit, this is excellent. Thank you!

You should flick through some of his other poems as well; his disjointed style is really well put together. Glad to introduce you to him :) I bought his book of poems recently.

His poetry book is called Crush if you want to look him up. I saw one of his poems on tumblr and saw a few more then decided yes. Yes. Making sense, me? Nope.
