    sad. damn. who's sane? mad
    wasps buzz. who let that wild bush
    plunder our garden?

    mind you, rose petal facades

    wild bush run amok,
    mind you, rose petal facades
    prickle, not tickle
    but the beauty of Cherry Blossoms
    is timeless

    The Namibean desert wind sometimes blows as far as the heart of Zimbabwe. In one of those days, he noticed a curious and beautifull animal, all yellow, slim, and running as fast as himself. Competition, then great friendship arouse between the two runners. And so it went on for some days, sheer high of free beings. Time to separate came. So their friendship would not be forgotten, the fured runner gave the wind this curious whistle you still hear when some obstacle dares stay in it's way. The wind gave him a hundred eyes spread all over the yellow animals fur, so he would allways see the savana trough them and feel the speed along with him. That's how the cheetah gained the black marks on it's fur.
    That is beautiful. I think I'll tell my nieces about it. Would you be a cheetah if you weren't a writer? I would be an elephant:

    midwives trumpet life
    children run
    between their legs

    I'll dig a tunnel

    The gentle whisper
    Scuttles its way down the hall
    Quiet as a mouse
    Makes much more sense....to live in the present tense.

    sinister siblings shards
    of glass glowing
    campfires
    Down the street you can hear her scream youre a disgrace
    As she slams the door in his drunken face
    And now he stands outside
    And all the neighbours start to gossip and drool
    He cries oh, girl you must be mad,
    What happened to the sweet love you and me had?
    Against the door he leans and starts a scene,
    And his tears fall and burn the garden green
