"How much did it cost tonight?" "Eleven dollars, eighty one." "This is every other night," I nodded, mumbling, "I know-- but there are things I need..." He checked the clock and told me that in fact I was due more relief-- he took a blue pill from his coat and bit in half the line that marked the addict from the pimp: "You know, when you are gone," he said, "I'll never know another witch. It will be, just them and me, because, you know, I have been sick, and have no need of woman now." "I know." I said. I stuck my tongue-- out - as I, received my host and died again, third time, I crossed myself and prayed the bells of ole St. Mike's-- I counted steps within the well, thinking landings counted twice - as the mice held tight the walls as my husband turned his back auditing the miles... I said there are things I need.... [This message has been edited by serenity blaze (01-16-2005 04:23 AM).] |

Sometimes we see the comment, "good, as usual..." which is fine... but you are never, ever "usual"... but always Unique. |

Serenity...Another masterpiece from a master of poetry and sometimes master of illusion with words. We all walk the steps of hell at times With only our need to reach the other side our driving force. Enjoyed very much...Paul ~~To share my poems with you is to share my heart with you~~ |
