the last sin   pale ashen sky a bleary eye clouds of recurring screams... i am a zoo   an octopus leviathan tentacles into an ocean of unformed emotions... syphilis and love     syphilitic pall stifles the clear blue i contort...   shell and pearl   amidst highs and lows in life's ocean flows a shell peony-mouthed...   i am an unmarried mother     fed on stings of barbed milk morality my child-plankton...   the lovers   cell upon cell bridge of their union hung on the pillars... rebirth   ogre of age and time cavil at a warm picture... the young today   innocence thaws at the altar of ambition...		Nowhere to run  Injections One in the morn, another before dinner Chasms in her mind get deeper Chemicals run wild, spill Her throat turns dry, taste bitter Bedlizard Dig inside the bowels of darkness And wretch it out of your body Just like that Ha Easier said than done When you are stalked Thoughtdevil Sit in the sun Go for a walk Love your daughter Get a routine Get a life You bet Learn to live Without love Or fear You have no choice Ghostwoman  26 January 2010   Poetry Home
