do in Yahoo, only one better. Three Poems in One! A poem by Project Nyu ~

Absent within pristine sheets
she lay motionless, well groomed as the surgeon's specimen but with no soul lit inside, eternally it seemed she remained tethered to the countless tubes that force-fed, for months poisons had been pumping into her bloodstream in order to exist. Strangers visited daily, offering their superficial comforts to the terminal maiden - leaving them bedside, whilst staring watching her, with their sad blue eyes and pitying what mother nature can inflict. Frivolous trinkets meant nothing to her now, as they would remain grounded after her heart-beating era had ended, gathering dust and awaiting her impossible return. |
she ran
past the clump of grape vines hanging from the white picket fence and lolled in the sunshine like a doll or a dancing sunflower, but she was sad because she knew summer was ending another year of school books and chalk boards and how would she ever be able to stand it all, but her indomitable internal summer always came back like the roar of a fountain filled with the effluence of winter. she would always rise and loll and rise again. she was, is, and always will be, our little Dallas. |
