TubeWrite: Scavengers

Is there a place for art and poetry on YouTube? Poets and Artists are the scavengers of YouTube. As the video I have responded to reminds us, we don't even have our own category. I enter this collaboration to see what the vultures will pick at- real art, or ass kissing responses to the obvious answer; Of course there is a place for art on YouTube, just as there is for the scavengers.

Scavengers
*by rpVerlaine*

Lately I treasure
the distance each
of your photos lets me keep

significant whiskey
allows me to dance with you
now out of reach

As I wake to another
who believes in
that same impermanence

leaving me with
more evidence that love
like a vulture is no accident

I take no pleasure
in confessing the
squalid lows I've fallen to

If its any measure
a junkie offered me the
same despair he planned to use

Such dis-accord
writes its own song but
you were the one with eloquence

you said of men
hand feed them till boredom comes
& like a vulture its no accident

Lately I think of
the lips you let me cover
till we were out of breath

I see you in
your Chaplin hat-your mini dress
and black fishnets

The funeral mass inside
your heart marking tears
as unnecessary evidence.

"Our desire will die " you said
we'll be pickings for others
& like a vulture it will be no accident
& like a vulture it will be no accident.

More to you than we realised, Sandawg.

Though when I said I wanted to plumb your depths, this wasn't quite what I had in mind.
