a fingernail
of blonde moon
reminds me
to write

both ends
of the pen
behave
like a syringe

and fulfilling
a promise
renews
an old addiction

but I am okay,
though I cling
to myself
like old velcro

I am okay,
though my broken heart
outnumbers
the stars

I am okay,
though I live in a city
where the sadness is
so beautiful
that the blues
get the blues

Aww the underlying blue blonde sadness is very pretty the way you tell it.

Wanted to mention how much I enjoyed your photography on your website too.

Nice~

Seems like "self- talking" as I so often do while watching my town go by, as I swing to and fro.

Fine writing. Touch of great sadness, in these words.
