absense of a scream
Copyright - Ivana Vidrich 2002
distorted window                                          sitting on the front porch
image of lilac                i'm being ignored        (eating a pear)
bush swaying.              then adored                juice dripping down her
vibrating                      ignored then adored     chin
lawnmower, echo of     ignored and adored     (she doesn't eve care)
national public              again.
radio, car engines
at different                  
you with the dark eyes and soft silky sighs stop
distances and               
crushing me under your trauma stop inventing a new
varying degrees of       
drama stop hiding in those deep sleeps and and leaving
gas pedal pushing         
me alone in this reality when you're asleep i must
down a one way          
cope on my own two feet
street.  close your
eyes it could be          
psycho times - i will walk home in the dark rapemurder gangs
waves                        
harassment dogsfearpanicmaniac flash briefly i'll stil move
waves rising and         
walking feet towards a fate i can hope to conciously create
backing down again     
rather than have it dealt killersrapists she'll be there
this is what
flatland/midland
water depraved
city-kids dream of
