THE NOT-SO-ROSY FATE OF WOMAN
 

I want to turn in a direction where
sentences burn with a big flame
the mouth with quick intelligence, if
the expression of speech is true.
I try to scratch an eye-sized opening
into the random, which is
mine.

When Smirnoff is finished

Truth or dare?

I am a bear and I am going to...

The lost sin

She named herself Thief

I want to turn

The critics, whose strong suit...

Long for the Diamond Merchant's...

End of the road

The return

Advance

Winter trees night trees grief...

Perspective

Bareheaded

Message

A witness

No passing

When I close my eyes

This city is a disease

The changes

Departure of a Knight

Reflection

A Red-mouthed Bird

Theory and Practice

Credo
