my minefield
by berlie

<center>

I built my walls
with special care
beyond the bricks and mortar,
over the grief filled moat,
is a minefield
sprinkled with packets
of despair
you see I left them there
so if I breached my fortress
and dared to venture forth
I would stumble on my path
and know no hope

so here I am
in the open
lost & broken
with no way home
</center>

Anyone can be passionate, but it takes real lovers to be silly.

Congratulations Berlie .....!!!!!!

...jeanne....
... and his words purge up and outward,
expelled and onward through desert dust swallowed,
sands he says that gorge on simple sensibilities.
And, now he spits fragments, grit, extended vowels and elongated syllables
over cracked lips. Their sounds fall
piling round his boots…
