no sugar?
unsweetened
reluctant drinker
two angels asleep
hung on the door
their swanny wings
no blankets
the heat of the night
blanket enough
------------------------
it's barely light
outside, the glow
of a screen, alive
huge curly lashes
blinking blinking
i pull mine out
scrape off
the boot polish
between bitten
finger nails
------------------------
two pictures
in a corner
behind a door
with christmas beads
thrown carelessly
at their feet
and medicine medicine
we wait to die
------------------------
in the mean while
i direct mind traffic
i see it streaming
out of my ears
i let it go
i let it go

Flashes of memories
blanket enough...
particularly like the last stanza...sometimes feels like an interstate highway up there doesn`t it?
life is so quiet
yet complexity dwells
in the depths of
......ones mind......
to meet the noise
of the outside
voices that
constantly chatter
......and groan
and float sweetly
on tainted air
hope you are having a particularly sweet day

outside?
inside?
the permeating air
that greets me
in the poke prod dawn?
a hundred poems could never
touch it...
constantly chatter
......and groan
and float sweetly
on tainted air
if they could but change the air Ash ...
