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–
- – -
See here.
Eastman Johnsson– The freedom ring
committed forever
with pics, feelings
a ring.
never far, never ex.
you’re the spark
that makes my heart shine.
before now forever.
- – -
To Louise.
Ophelia Kwong – Peach Pit
inner juice
running down
thru her legs
her pulp screamed:
bite me hard
let me in
my core
is yours
eat me, please
Tupper Malone – Sacred words imperfect #4
words getting in
between–
our bodies–
the tension,
the wish–
*
words, words, words–
what do we mean–
Jean Metzinger – Tea time (Woman with a teaspoon)
stabs so deep
i cannot breath–
excruciating pain
i cannot see–
*
i need you–
(and a cup of herbal tea–)
