The sun goes down
and here I am
living the same old life
that I've lived - thousands of times again.

Sitting alone, in a small wooden box
playing a half strung guitar
for my dearest friend ... the ceiling.

With a poem, I am .... in love, with communication
essentially, as always,
I write for no one, because initially ---- I am ... no one
... yet, I continue to search,
for the connections, between something, or someone,
for some reason .......
this story, is already boring.

I feel like sitting in the middle of the street tonight,
while holding a light to my face,
.... so everyone can see who I am,
as the cars fly by,
turning the inside of my head, completely white,
walk with me .... with black sounds,
touch my insides, touch the ground, become cold
fold into me .... like a staple
entering flesh ... I'm completely naked ..


.dead.

For some reason I get a sick pleasure out of commenting on your works. Must be that "Don't comment on my works" thing. Anyway, nice poem.

Now...for my own, unmimicked sentiments...well for now anyhow. Heavy, soaked ashes and hollow foods. Yeah...I think those or the senses psychosomatically touched. Good stuff. ~DW~

You ever read those poems..well like most of mine...that dodge around the theme until the end? well this draws a straight vivid line into it's theme..while bouncing off the branches on the way down..sofaking kewl..

dommi said it right... it's nice to now know that you're doc ash... as i missed (erroneously) your presence. excellent work... i feel the apperant futility in communication thru poetry... i'm just trying to breath and hoping you'll hear.
