simple the pain

LONELY LONELY

simple

JOY IS HERE

in the lovely
in the brave

WE CAN HIDE NO MORE

-------

in the mist of vibrancy

words lose potency

and faces appear

(see!

it IS you!)

I KNEW IT ALL THE TIME

--

the naked revelation

DEATH

the simple pain

LONLINESS

we are strong

here

on the other side of the words

on the true side of the world

------

we are all junkies

we are surrounded by junk

junk men

junk leaders

junk poetry

---------

look!

in the SKY!

an opening

come

dare try burst free

----

if not YOU....who?

if not YOU, who, me?

SURE,

IM STILL HERE

---------

all is death

ALL

all is death

except

(except YOU?)

standing here with me
