I heard the bell ring
about 1AM
on Monday
how dare you? how could you
you
you
you?
My shattered coast provides no defense
pummeled
raw
and endlessly hopeful;
bleeding quietly
life trickles away
a thin red line
looping the loop
defying death
goggled blondes
turned upside-down
it's very subtle
the Continental
because it does what you want it to do
Geisha
Continental
Kowtow
Now
Low and behold
there you are/...
I've missed you!!
I really like this poem, with its subtle reminder of death and its acceptance of life's unexpected gifts. Yeah!
