the girl.

Andrew Eisenschenk


her body roams a quaint, iridescent stage, as smoke fills the air.

a burning cigarette, left unattended in an ashtray.

and there is no remorse. a quiet sense of clarity.
immersed across a night lit stroll, an empty street corner.

“you see, what we’re all missing, it’s distinction.”

and again, it’s set in her eyes, passionately screaming.

    SilverScent is crazy. This deserves AT LEAST a silver trophy. .... The description and the ... the way you can say so much with so few words is... stunning to me. Bravo again.

    I loved the last line. it's set in her eyes, passionately screaming. It's such a great image. I really liked this poem.

    I liked the simple format of this, it allows me to contradict my normal view, as the lack of capital letters added emphasis. I thought your diction was consistant, and blunt in manner. I liked it. Thanks for entering.

    this is very beautiful, tightly crafted, and powerful. you have poignant descriptions with great use of words and metaphors. the last line really locks the poem into focus. well done!
