seven years in tibet* by Vere MantratriadI praise to you
whether you want it or not
and its a difficult impression
to leave on your face when
youre trying so hard
not to see yourself
but the mirror is inside
and wont dislodge
from your grey matter
no matter the matter

Posted by Christel Crews on 07/26/06 at 04:56 AM a great use of wording here.. those last few lines really drive it home |
