A Real Woman Poem by Joseph Narusiewicz

These crake peaks of compassion
Climb Angel Falls
Himalayan Mountains
Dharma stars
You are the elegant oppressed
Billy Holiday sings like the broken

In love with images
Enamored with museums

I try to penetrate the dragon armor
Agendas like arrows of poison
The prisoner of lingerie
Silk and satin illusions
She smiles and I am troubled
I want a Goddess not a human
I am the intellectual of concepts
When the chase ends what is there?
The preconceptions of intimacy
Tears and a little girl

A real woman scares me
