on a lonely night like this
i envy the stars
i miss the moon and
the cool shadows of trees
...
after a night of love
you take back your arms
and you start your journey again
...
a dragonfly with a red tail
and gossamer wings
and bright blue body
comes through my window
...
attuned to your verbal abuse
look at you, haven't you noticed?
you have become an empty gong
...
Upon a wish shall she build
The pillar of her life
Upon her dreams shall she
...
before mother died
she gave me this tea cup
white porcelain
...
a white butterfly
rests on a blue curtain
it is very still
i have second thoughts now
...
her face is like a mongo bean
her hair like corn husks
she is fat and wears a lavender dress
...
because papa
loves me so much
he comes back
now in the body
...
