still life with carafe , bottle , and guitar - amedee ozenfant
mail from the bookstore clerk (178)
all of us , skinwalkers
running through the halls
without any clothes to wear
bearing flesh and bone that no one cared to ask about
are you content ?
are you at peace with your body ?
a question concerning life ,
and you as the answer
this too shall relax the mind
especially in terrible times
when the world needed it most
a hero to save the lost
iron , amber , pink ,
the colors that have
all but changed our way
of perception
gladiator in the ring
battling flaming creatures , again
because there is no other option
for king and country

thank you kindly for reading ,
