Earthcup's Poetry
Sprawl

I'm not where I belong
Too much noise
Convertibles and SUV's
violate the sanctity of
my forest and glen

They move to the country
marvel at the fresh air
wonder at the trees
install subdivisions and superstores
so they can enjoy it in comfort
like admiring a pastoral scene
painted on the subway wall

Then
they drive back to the sprawling city
and tell their friends in the office
what they're missing

The Man I Love

The man I love
exists only in flights of fancy
or so it seemed to me...

Indulgently disregarding
friend's advice and premonitions
I feared the dangers of the dreamtime
and any love that lies waiting there.

All systems down,
heart on autopilot,
I found a waking dream
and an old love
with a new face.

The man I love and I
tell the story again
and wonder
how it will end
this time...
Life After Death

He could have killled me
but I can't cry.

She would have paralyzed me
and I can't cry.

They never call...
Why can't I cry?

At least I didn't go back or die.
Just wish I could cry...
For Mom

You won't believe this
but I love you.

Right now you're certain this was typed by another's hands.

You won't credit the sentiment
to me but to the bad influence of the week......

I would call
but I know you don't want me to.

Besides, we'd only end up hurting each other again....

So I just wanted to say
you're not an evil stepmother
anymore than I'm a wicked changeling
but I doubt we'll escape
this faerie nightmare
in this lifetime

and I love you.....
