beautiful contest hun
Anna A is one of my faves - did i ever tell you that?
Here is my gift
Here is my gift, not roses on your grave,
not sticks of burning incense.
You lived aloof, maintaining to the end
your magnificent disdain.
You drank wine, and told the wittiest jokes,
and suffocated inside stifling walls.
Alone you let the terrible stranger in,
and stayed with her alone.
Now you're gone, and nobody says a word
about your troubled and exalted life.
Only my voice, like a flute, will mourn
at your dumb funeral feast.
Oh, who would have dared believe that half-crazed I,
I, sick with grief for the buried past,
I, smoldering on a slow fire,
having lost everything and forgotten all,
would be fated to commemorate a man
so full of strength and will and bright inventions,
who only yesterday it seems, chatted with me,
hiding the tremor of his mortal pain.
that is one of my bestest by her
-
This one is so pretty.
Bookmarked. -
The honesty of paper, wings.
These words, enough
to keep a sinner straight
if not. Inside the lines
the lack becomes miraculous,
expunging what was just
before. Then somehow, yes
somehow, as if alive a smudge
begins to sing, emergent. -
