Wasting time on a sunny day that should be rainy
Her face was like an open book John Bean
I threw it on the fire and watched it slowly burn the slow ache of crisp black tinder paper arching a purple wreath ghost-like into the sky ..
Eyes like broken glass hands like cement shoes mouth like a dead hand hair like burning trees
I kissed her
tasted ashes. I was finally in love...
This is the generation when we make love in expensive cars while expensive beds lie empty in empty homes.
This is the generation when we wear torn clothes while expensive garments hang empty in empty homes.
This is the generation of empty hearts in empty souls of unused beds of unused clothes of unused bombs
and we wonder at our emptiness.
Dominique Davies

Imagine throwing yourself off a cliff I didn't get where I wanted to go And floating Because I had a setback Then wake up Leave. I was hurt very badly But I recovered eventually Imagine trying to sprint through a soap bubble Then try Now I am still on my way. Talking. Just more sensible and determined
And then, The light was red, my mind was green... Imagine being an arthritic surgeon with an ink knife - and try by Sonja Elizabeth Wenk Poetry. Pro Tem8 Ie 12 octobre 1987
