Title:
The Gauntlet
You tease for a tangle of words
You wish for spew and sputum
You want your verse uncooked
No chapter
No laughter
You bait for disease and despair
You will that we all be aware
No corn
No form
Bedraggled, bewitched, berated
Second guesses contemplated
You seek fire and phlegm
You bequest we start again
So help us
You pitch us into the bowels
You fawn as we forge our vowels
You throw
Down
A grim gauntlet
