Literature

beauty

and beauty just happens if you will wait long enough - the sound of plants breathing under the snow, of red petals and green leaves bursting on the vine and climbing up over the roof, the sight of rain washing the hillside - a mosaic on the window and the scent that buries the laundry, fresh picked from the line on a june morning and how it feels on your skin when you first wake up lazy with the last dream and how she tastes - she tastes supple and fragile, something blooming just for you.

Girl as Poem by Poetrymann, literature

Literature

Girl as Poem

She was once a verse by Baudelaire something about flowers that were loyal to none and I kissed her when no one was watching. She was a stanza by Byron who stood on the white cliffs of somewhere and praised her eyebrows. She is nothing like summer or a lost continent; her landscape is too bold for that. Her shoulders are not a country or a battle to be won. I thought she was a poem - Cynara, or maybe an ode or sonnet - words teased and woven that beat and bled upon my humble pen, not the flesh and blood of thighs and hips ripening beneath my gaze, waiting to be written.

The role of the observer

Your hand, under the table, halfway up my skirt, feels cold, but no matter. I've already read it, that hand, when you lifted it to touch my face. I needed only a glimpse. Like lightning. Quick, jagged. Others, seers, cloak it in mystery, the tracings of intersected flesh. They turn over card after card, waiting, grave in the presence of a moment that has not yet arrived, but I come from a long line of women who wear the future like light, awaiting nothing.

Headache by Bark, literature

Literature

Headache

My problem is a headache No, not a headache; an explosion inside my brain A wailing, a crying, a lost soul's screams of despair A jackhammer serenade, a machine gun sonata Black canvases painted in a frenzy by a madwoman Darkness at noon, dreams flying by in fast-forward Crippled children trying to run from a sharp-toothed monster Confusion of languages, religions, philosophies, all idiot blather Chainsaw grinding of bone, packs of mad dogs yowling and howling You see, don't you? My problem is a headache

Love Poem

0 min read

I dreamt of a woman My woman is not Ash Wednesday Nor is she Good Friday Nor the Sunday of Doubting Thomas My woman is always Thursday. That is to say inconceivable. Her neck is a racetrack Furrowed by hooves A vibrating field. She holds a small watch Between her teeth And when we kiss I worry I might swallow it Then she will always know my rhythm. My woman is not a tree She is a stone When I crunch her my teeth shatter. She suffers too because it's impossible for me To change her shape I can only change her space So I throw her away And then I run like a dog sucking in the distance To get her back.

Mourning...

0 min read

I suppose that's the word. But we can't bury it. The centuries are too much with us, and somehow not enough. The body convulses yet, in the agonies of a slow and painful demise; what tanks and swastikas could not accomplish has been meted out with the stroke of a pen. "Democracy will be imposed," they say. I have no words for that. http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2012/feb/12/euro-crisis-stake-greece-identity-europe
