Clara Keiper Poems

Sometimes after night falls
and I'm lying here alone.
I hear that little melody
that sends me searching for my phone.
...

Baby you torture me
Hot then cold repeatedly

You are fire
...

She sat in front of a crystal ball
the window and the moon
contemplating the fate of the man
who lies in the other room
...

Witchy woman
In that long black dress
You know all the secrets
that I can't confess
...

on a cold day in the middle of winter
my grandmother was born
they wrapped her up
in a brand new quilt
...

Look at the butterfly making his way through
the branches of that twisted tree
Just as if nothing had happened today
and whole world was still as could be
...

I'm out of my closet
and you're out of your mind
trying to convince yourself
that your not my kind
...

Clever woman aren't you
You think you know what I do
Just because I'm out all night
Doesn't mean that things aren't right
...

Step into the moonlight
leave your life behind
I can feel you tremble
in the silence of the night
...

I can see you as plain as day.
walking around as if you weren't dead.
You walk across my yard
a red baseball cap
...
