Chan Siva – Girl on fire
burning down
the house
the old notions
and bad feelings–
she won’t
she won’t be stuck–
on this ground
anymore–
ready to fly away,
across the ocean
where her heart lies–
*
she looks like a girl
but it’s a flame
burning high–
no regrets
she’s leaving behind–
Alexander Deyneka – Girl with a book
i hide myself
behind thick paper walls
there i’m safe
out of the sight
but near my own heart.
*
surrounded by people
that someone else imagined
i’m happy
with friends
while outside life goes by.
*
i don’t care
i don’t care
leave me here
forever
until my last chapter.
Diane Sellers – Midnight Nights Dream
and here we go
to the third act
both tired
we try to arrange
a different pact
*
hopes are high
i’ll hold my ground
this time
*
i like you so much
i think, unfortunately
i made you up
T. F. Simon – Theatre du Vaudeville
i’m not easy and light
as in your wish–
as in the back
of your mind–
i’m complicated and heavy
with lots of baggage indeed–
*
you take my ground
you drive me mad–
*
i want you near…
don’t want it too?
why do you run
to where, with who?
Alan Rudolph – Reality is a negotiable item
clinging to
a shattered
dream–
that you can relate
with the things that
happened to me–
tired of
starting again
and again–
what i must learn
is that i’m alone
all alone–
a loner–
wallflower
with no perks.
Cecily Brown – Based on a true story
entwined in bed
i can’t leave
you can’t part
the hours
pass by
in a hurry
as if mad
your hands,
tongue,
thoughts
all over me–
Cecily Brown – Black Painting 1
word
by
word–
giving up–
falling down–
pieces of clothes
lying on the ground–
the power–
our bodies–
the power of our–
urgent, uncontrollable–
