Violet Bent Backwards Over the Grass — Chapter no 18

Haikus

Jasmine in the air

the burden of fame is real never felt so clear

You in the soft light

the 405 from Venice a river of red

Wondering if it’s

astronomical twilight or civil twilight

Every night I die

when I give myself to you sad but beautiful

Poets- like comics

are inherently quite sad better off alone

I stepped on a bird

cried in my new boyfriend’s arms to live is to kill

For years I begged you

to just take me in your arms you wouldn’t. Couldn’t.

Babe let’s go to town

buy something sweet – pink grapefruit eat it with sugar

No big decisions

to the lake or to the sea My only question

Open the front door

hello I say to no one I know no one’s home
