Tue, 10 Apr 2007 Tonight We Write

Victoria Waters

would there be an option
glasses are 1/4 full
one is red one is white
it's one of those nights
you want to cuddle something
& I don't like the word
wind blows
cold out
I look at this screen like it's going to tell me something
when I die I just want to see my dog
clara
can God do that?
my mother would say well it's wishful thinkin on your part girl
I guess she'd be right.

tonight it's dark
woods bamboo
thought processes spin around like a cotton candy machine

if I was a bad girl I could or would feel like a fly in it.

I've been jostled before
we're what we are. I don't know what that is
sometimes I don't try
