But there is some good stuff there.

Thinking about it, it might have been Mossy that mentioned it once before.

Great site HHH. This was the first one I read...phewwww

After a Day We Stay in Bed Until the Sun is Close to Setting
by: Lyn Lifshin (1942- )

From Cold Comfort
He drives home
thru the black trees
with a poem
about me that will
make him famous
starting in his
fingers. He wishes
the wheel was his
Olympia typewriter.
He needs to get my
hair where he can
touch it on the long
drive thru the pine
trees, my musk still
drenching the car.
I want to read
this poem almost as
much, dazed, the
night's performance
has sucked me flat
and pale as an empty
sheet of non erasable
bond, has pulled
all color, all the
wet moist verbs
out the way he took
the stories I told
and made them in
to his own surreal
dreams. Even my
leaves and branches
became the green
arms of a child.
My mouth is dry, I
need to have his
poem where my clove
nipples press into his
blue striped cotton
smelling of sun and
wind in the pine
trees, a mirror that
will reflect my dark
eyes. I need this as
much as he needs
to invent me to
become himself.

I said it was good

Come Valentines day
Merry is serenading
The beautiful fells

They'll sing back to me
Pleasantly wearing me
They'll still be there when i'm gone

[Hes]

I said it was good

Hmmm...valentines day...a fell race and a book of erotic poetry. Could be worse!

They'll sing back to me

Now that's lovely!

Absolutely. Could be a road race!

One cat is too many.

I don't like cats they can't be trusted,
Send 'em to korea to be eaten with mustard,
They'll only see you when it suits their mood,
Or your the closest person who has some food.

Don't get me talking about there cleanliness,
They pretend to be clean and in a box of litter do their mess,
But the egyptians worshipped isis i hear you say,
Well lets mummify the blighters get rid of them that way.

By Matt.
