Ultra Liberal Nightmare Headstone with Waning Lips Turn signal ingenious …to itself Folds, without charge, hypnosis Remembering “the dream” Leaning into night eye journals Somewhere on a superimposed podium Breathing down lazy subconscious Slow motion relax Savage tackles…hard knocks So hard it hurts I call them back, hysterically Free lunches They don’t hear me But go for the jugular Gripping like a departing child A grinning, Sylvia Plath In her last moments Singing like a quiet rain Mouthing words Through a window of no return Moving to find hope 24 hour fingerlakes Persistent vision left behind Desperate dialogue, gone wrong From parts unknown, Tour running dry, parched On the edge of long shadows A fleeting look of honesty Showing me unyielding wind Howling Steady and true With scars to weary to heal Eye to eye, moving nearer I shake the moments Like a torn up reflection I’m angry I give a damn out loud Where I never thought I’d be Standing on frozen ground Complete despair Faces stiff with homelessness Brush stroking cold retreats Knowing the risks Embracing self sufficiency Feeling fear, shame,legacy Shrewd perception Battered heart Knowing, it’s time to believe I awaken in feathers And a voice of reason Where experience leads me [This message has been edited by LeeJ (03-17-2005 02:53 PM).] |

Wow. This was an eye opener. Made me think of someone in physical restraints, or in a coma, but able to understand all that is happening around them, yet unable to indicate that. Sorry, for my view, just came out as I read. Excellent write Lee J. Enjoyed. JL  |

"I give a damn" out loud - yes - me too - Susan If I wander far enough, long enough, will I finally know . . . |

an intense and compelling read! Eye to eye, moving nearer I shake the moments Like a torn up reflection I’m angry I give a damn out loud Where I never thought I’d be Standing on frozen ground Complete despair Faces stiff with homelessness Brush stroking cold retreats Knowing the risks Embracing self sufficiency Feeling fear, shame,legacy Shrewd perception Battered heart Knowing, it’s time to believe I awaken in feathers And a voice of reason Where experience leads me miscellanea |
