PERFECT FIFTHS
by Steven Kenworthya left wrist scar story tells it all
a pretty girl, sensation
she writes them down. love,
we must talk about
the massive attack
resting peacefully
so sleeplessly &
pretty faces dream dreamlessly.
going chin to chin.
i woke up within and decided to behave a little less myself.
you were you & i, me.
a pair of peregrine flying at lost.
space shuttles fix
satellites
satellite satellite, theres a star to borrow
from tonight. itÂ’s so late. your eyes.
bravery mind. your seven eight nine expressions
left twentyfour hour impressions..
add it up. add it to the list.
things i cannot live without.
the lyrics across the sleep are strong
and running fast thru, but i know.
& you can feel me strong thru you.

| Posted by Kristina Woodhill on 02/18/08 at 05:34 AM This reads slower and dreamier than some of your pieces. The peregrine shifting to satellites is fun and I like the "star to borrow from tonight". Love the last line. |
| Posted by A. Paige White on 02/19/08 at 10:49 PM "i woke up within and decided to behave a little less myself." My favorite line! I have done this a time or twice. I hope tonight and today and tomorrow lets you keep the satellite, satellite. Lovely poem. |

| Posted by Frankie Sanchez on 02/22/08 at 05:49 PM this feels more delicate than most of your stuff. it's perfectly you and it's beautiful. "bravery mind." - and your author's note (as per usual) is golden. |
