I watch through
miles of glass

distorted

she is attacked
         savaged

and my wide-eyed fists
pound
pound
resound against distance

repeat and again
resistance
is
mute
and hate is deaf
and

I watch through
the guile of glass

distorted

she has retreated
          ravaged

and my fisted eyes wide
resound
resound
pound against the vision

repeating again
persistance
is
hate
and mute is deaf
and

I watch her
punish herself
and I pray
she read the
cracks
I made in

the miles of glass

... brian?
/pip/Forum58/HTML/001452.html

i dont think ive ever linked my own poem to a reply, unless it was written in tribute. here, the link IS tribute. to show: i understand... as different and alike as both messages were... you have struck me and i feel myself shattered by your words.

the impotent casings of human beings. god how we squirm.

Ahh.

You're as sensitive as I am, aren't you?

Yes, I think so.

(just don't be as sensitive as Cobain)

meg-  thankyou, you honor me
      and yes, I have been whining about
      the inadequacies of our gravitybags
      for a while now......so..restrictive

you-  I can't help it
           smile for me?

mike-  I haven't felt like that in years
       and it didn't happen then
       so......knock on plastic
       thank you, Mike

Ohh interesting.... the pounding against miles of glass is definitely a good way to describe the feeling ot trying to reach someone who's so secluded and kept away.  Reminded me of that one part in Donnie Darko.

Very nicely written, Mr. Sites.

Wow that was an intense read, I'm incredibly envious of your writing, it so passionate, yet it is still well crafted, thanks for sharing

An awesome poem!  I love the way you've sort of messed around with the senses and roles of parts of the speaker's body, like the "wide-eyed fists."  This is a very frightful poem with a jagged layout that fits it perfectly.
