    Conflict of Gods

    In a garden of stars,
    Her brain becomes a snail.

    Shoulder shrug-
    The cigarette lit itself spitting
    Smoke that turned blue as the
    Light cut through it.

    Her throat opened
    As she spoke,
    Drowning in a drought
    Of what she always
    Thought she wanted.


    WHY?,
    Slides thru her mind.
    Breathing in,
    WHAT IF?

    Confessions burn her lips
    As the cigarette gasps
    To stay lit-

    And her GODS create
    One final conflict.

    This has a Bogey and Bacall feel to it. Nice. Very nice.

    ok... I like. I will read more later but yeah! I get it.

    When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.

    John F. Kennedy (1917-1963) Thirty-fifth President of the USA
