BROOKLYN

Child of truth
world of lies
express hope
inside of you
or it dies

Sloshed, water in a bathtub
souls in the body

Press flesh upon flesh

My African lilly
blooms in a field of thorns
fragrant, bold and arrogant
opens to the most gentle touch

Handful

Lilacs and lillies
dogwoods and redbuds
glorious spring

Dogeared Bible

Dusty gray brown
mottled
gideon

Ironic,sadly

Sadly ironic
or
ironically sad
e.g. Nixon president in 1969
Kennedy gave us the moon

It's Friday,
Friday's are inherently ironic
and inherently sad

I hurt that your sad
You make me sad
Hate that I love you
Love to hate you

Tuning a guitar
about learning your own instrument
Partners?
She must learn it too
and you, her's

Play the hum of the universe
the scream of hell

Life is a balance
of pleasure and pain
Pain of pleasure deferred
pleasure of pain indulged
