Between 1 and 4 am June 14thSinging songs: the world seems infantileBetween 1 and 4 am June 14th
Skinning fish of disease
On this blasted summers eve Has become difficult Seen dim in skin borrowed from neighbors
Is’ Flesh looks pale even in shadow Especially to these men Smoking their teeth in the car With the last they have to spend Making the interior smell of melted plastic
Dead for their beliefs
In coats borrowed from brothers One mind one body one soul Reported endlessly through the night

From the right with curl’d corners and blood lined white: weakness— for dresses and dabbed cosmetics; for romance novels read in cycles with covers of love making though the vision is tearing

PandoraThe very first woman, Mankind’s gift and curse, A gift for man to adore, And the curse that plagues him.Pandora
Molded by Hephaestus, Out of silt and clay, The masterpiece of his hands, Like man but different.
Zeus breathed her to life, Athena made her intelligent, There is no knowledge or craft, She does not know.
The Graces made her charming, Apollo endowed her music, With a nightingale’s voice,

NeverImagine all the words never spelledNever
Because of sentences never written
Letters never read
Thoughts never recorded
All the dreams in the end forgotten
What about the poems never published
Books never read
Products never used
Energy never burned
Because of people never discovered
Loners never found
Babies never born
What about feelings never felt
Experiences never had
Truths never told
Apologies never made
Promises never carried out
Happiness never smiled upon
What about all the hands never held
Flowers never bloomed
Scents never smelt
Anniversaries never celebrated
No us to think about
No break up, no get together to be had
The sun
