THE FEED
Scroll until you're gone
I am the feed and the feed is the ghost, A cold marble pressure against the soft throat. I'm perfectly empty. I'm ready to go. I catalogued hunger from pillar to post, The copper of metrics, a metallic note. I am the feed and the feed is the ghost. I wept for the causes that everyone chose, The salt in the tear-duct, a veiling coat. I'm perfectly empty. I'm ready to go. I watched myself watching—that's where the thread goes, The blue light is heavy, a dead-body moat. I am the feed and the feed is the ghost. It promised a spark at the end of the dose, The static in sinew, we flicker, we float. I'm perfectly empty. I'm ready to go. I am the feed and the feed is the ghost, I'm perfectly empty. I'm ready to go. —UpsilonA




You noticed ♥️.
I vary the refrains instead of them being strict verbatim each time.
I played with the rhyme scheme also and moved away from the traditional Villanelle scheme.
Villanelles are one of my favorite forms
I really enjoyed this! I love the variation on the Villanelle. I really enjoyed this poetry forms and the Villanelle is one I haven’t worked with much.
