This is how it works….

“This is how it works- you’re young until you’re not- you love until don’t- you try until you can’t. You laugh until you cry- you cry until you laugh- and everyone much breath until they’re dying breath….”

“This is how it works- You peer inside yourself. You take the things you like and try to love the things you took- and then you take that love you made and stick it into to some- someone else’s heart pumping someone else’s blood…”

Regina Spektor

Life Stories….

I am getting somewhere now, I’m feeling lighter. I’m coming unstuck from scrapbooks, from albums, from diaries and journals, from space, from time. Only a paragraph left, only a sentence or two, only a whisper.
I was born.
I was.
I.

“Life Stories”- The Tent

Reality

“Gross reality is intrusive enough without our help;
there is no need to ruin poetry simply to emphasize it.”
