denouement

it is killing her
a low haemoglobin count
size zero culture

the g- twenty meet
and fill up many papers
to beat poverty ..

dropped

the escalator
elation and depression
what goes up comes down

a shopaholic
a lengthening shopping list
let the prices drop ..

tolerance

' thanksgiving '

quakes and eruptions
and tsunamis and what not
how much tolerance

the hurricane's gone
leaving everything flattened
except surprises.

what is it like

words aren't assasins
nor are they mercenaries
for the word is god

what when the words hurt
when they break and bruise and maim
surely god would know ..

tactile

.. to helen keller ..

' metaphysics '

a light would touch me
the darkness deaf,mute and blind
with no taste or smell

there is nobody
but the lavender floats in
i can sense her touch ..
