Minnie Gehrig Poems

I feel again I know,
I lost all sense of myself,
I had so many big Ideas
but I always sit on the couch,
...

I feel so trapped,
crying in my room like a lost child,
perhaps ive been crazy all along
and its just some sharpened point,
...

I am flying,
my blue wings spread, so far wide they are touching the sun with there tips,
trying to avoid the razor blades of all the smiling princes,
at home in there wicked games of love,
...

Mabey I am falling then,
whether up or down I dont yet know,
Like alice through the rabbit hole,
and sometimes lost in the looking glass
...

I like to watch you unravel,
slow and soft like a ball of yarn,
Unwinding and tangled around all the furniture,
and the ankles of bored houswives,
...

Mabey i should quit these
smokey bars and these
love filled boys that
sit in them
...

I will write for you love
all day
all night
...

Let me be with my sisters then,
and walk the 7 day moonpath,
bathe in the beauty of bloody femininity,
...

Oh sweet thoughts,
You must grow wings,
Fly out of my mind at once,
...

I do not seek these thoughts,
My bed must be woven from them,

So every night as the moon,
...
