damage

the book says we may be through with the past, but the past ain't through with us

for the broken, the fragmented, the fearful.

in a middle of a room
stands a suicide
sniffing a Paper rose
smiling to a self

"somewhere it is Spring and sometimes
people are in real:imagine
somewhere real flowers,but
I can't imagine real flowers for if I

could,they would somehow
not Be real"
(so he smiles
smiling)"but I will not

everywhere be real to
you in a moment"
The is blond
with small hands

"& everything is easier
than I had guessed everything would
be;even remembering the way who
looked at whom first,anyhow dancing"

(a moon swims out of a cloud
a clock strikes midnight
a finger pulls a trigger
a bird flies into a mirror)

Valentines day. I hate this day. Should be no different than any other day. The hole just seems to be deeper and much darker today. Just to add some frosting...my doctor told me I have mono. This day just has so many levels of suck.

echo says:

i agree about the commenting. i was never sure which direction i wanted to try to take things here, partly because i wasn't sure who would be here. and my previous attempts at provoking reactions and interactions have not met with the greatest success. with a few exceptions. i do wholly welcome anyone who thinks they belong here. up to now it's been about the first two paragraphs of the poem. it's not really a support group, more of a sanctuary.

echo says:

i think not if i find the right birds. and i'm still trying to fly. and those shrieks are of pain.

quote from american splendor:

"Everybody's always talking about how bad experiences cause you to grow...and all that cliched stuff. Man, I got enough bad experiences and growth to last me plenty. Right now...I'd be glad to trade some growth for happiness.

5L says:

hope u find the right birds... and may the shrieking crow turn into a singing bird and fly into a mirror
