Slow to speak quick to listen

I curse my Irish skin.
Felt the rose blossom in both cheeks
Going off like a bloody
Hand
Granade
All across my chest


|| Anger can be like a flower too. 

SR.

I remember you were soft like an apricot
Young
but the thoughts in your mind 
tall, like a father

The entire world in your eyes
The organ in your chest, full like a lamp

|What have you lost except for all of life  and can you be drawn back

Max

The shadow next to me
Is wearing you

jana

insecurity becomes a strength
when you speak to a best friend

they pin flowers and perfume onto your words
and make you feel like the two legs shaking
the words jagged, wet face
is an extraordinary dance

"When,'
She asked
"Are you most yourself?"

When I do not have to ooze
push myself out 

When I do not have to grow larger than the tube of skin pressed on me

When I'm a farm
A collection of All my mother gave me

||& I never think of it once
||& he's smiling at me

S

This will not be lost
All of her

I've seen a man widdle the most beautiful piece of cedar into a mouse
But she soon saw her reflection 

Like a horse she will not jump
Blindly
If you ask her to give up her soul
The mind
For a man 
She will run away from diamonds and promises--your empty mechanic hands

To be free 

If you make her more free
She will like both of her legs 
you will recieve
All of her

Even the horse

I've let go of photography
Like I've let go of jealousy
Fantasy 
Discontentment 

They have feet and voices

||they keep coming back without welcome

An old poem

You
Fragile like rice paper

Your forearms lean like a greyhound

But Fear
Fierce like scissors. 

CT

You are 
Calligraphy
A rose open
The color of Georgia's winter

I've watched what the smoke took from you and how you've wept and risen

|| it makes me wonder if I am stronger than I look as well and what I will have to endure to find out
the conference
Inside
His head
made him dwindle away
Because his mind had anorexia
First

|like his father
