A Renewal - James Merrill
Having used every subterfuge To shake you, lies, fatigue, or even that of passion, Now I see no way but a clean break. I add that I am willing to bear the guilt.
You nod assent. Autumn turns windy, huge, A clear vase of dry leaves vibrating on and on. We sit, watching. When I next speak Love buries itself in me, up to the hilt.

Ethanol High - 3 Poems
[A]
Parallels
Euclid’s Axiom:
Parallel lines don’t
intersect
except at infinity.
False False again!
Soft kisses under fall
foliage
remembered today tell
Me, how we met impossibly once.
Two parallel lines again
stretching
into the blue infinities.
[B]
Unlangauged
I will become unlangauged
Like the birds
The insistent fluttering of
those wings
The high pitch of raucous
Bird love song
In sparse snow armored trees
(You walk under)
And fill up the wintry silences
Of my grief.
[C]
Black
Black: the color of soot
ascendant of lights
extinguished.
Black: the night I fight
with puny fires
raging tears.
Black: the color you liked to
wear; the antimony in
your unloving eyes
Black: the blankness of this memory
I hold to write about
Black

Broken Hearted Stranger - A lyric
(For Doc + 2 other U3 Stud Madars)
Broken hearted stranger rushing on the road, here there nowhere. shoulders hunched against the wind, feet blue hands blue the scars of his hand where he slapped your face blue cold blue
ooh walking walking walking without a stop towards a final end.
Broken hearted stranger you're remebering his hands passin through your hair streaming in the wind,tears rolling in estacy, his lips roving as he finger fucked you over the roar of his Mustang
ooh crying crying crying black tears in too many unknown beds.
Broken hearted stranger darkness is coming in ridin again across the border and you keep hearin the remebered echos of his feet, each of his false smiles false words.
ooh glowing glowing shining dark eyes sleepless watching endless passin train windows
Broken hearted stranger red sun soon will come raisin over the frozen snow banks of pain, hear your heart pounding no no no don't slice those viens no just wait don't jump down those tracks no not yet
not yet not yet......staccto
feel feel feel growling oooh lovin lovin feel my lovin in the starlight
mmmm B---@ro@--->Ken hearted s-----tra++++ger..

This one came out more raw than I thought it would be, but I wanted to write one that had strong contrasts, raw lyrics ending with soft whispering words...ssssssss.... like grass rustling in the praire wind. The seed came from one of the very first conversations that I had with Doc,found the words coming to me strangely as I was parking my bike and walking to class, not the words just her obvious pain on remebering memories in her head, so the last lines are especially for her.
