There is poison in my soup
in my veins
behind my eyes
and it strangles me -
throat bound and squealing.
It bleeds me heavy
onto the floor of a bookshop,
fast burns the customers
with it’s venom
and each of my fingers swell
gasp naked at the tile
for an end.

wow. i loved that.

So runs my dream, but what am I?
An infant crying in the night;
An infant crying for the light;
And with no language but a cry.

you know - one of these days, A, you're going to write something that i understand... that way i can, well, understand why i like your writing so much. have no clue whether close to your intent or not, but there is emoted pain in this heading right at me from your written word. i suppose i could grab several things out of it, but pain, written, leaps out at me. all in all, it's not only fun to try and decipher your hieroglyphics, but fun to see how you put them together.

peace n' hugs,

C

PS - who's the hot chick you got to take a picture for ya?
