Francie Lynch Poems

I am part of your smile today.
I might be in the curl of your lip,
In the corner glint of your eyes;
Or the concave of a dimple.
...

Many of the world's greatest Leaders throughout our tumultuous history have;
Many ofthe insightful Revolutionaries in stink hole and glory hole countries have;
Many of the oppressed, disenfranchised and cheated also have.
Look to Lenin, Mandela, Gandi, Nehru, Havel, Bhutto, Ceausescu, Charles I, Papadopoulos, Lady Jane Grey, Louis XVI, Marcos, Milosevic, a pile of Mohameds, Mussolini, Nicholas II, Pinochet, Saddam, Marie Antoinette, Pope Clement V, Selassie, Baghdadi, Duvalier, and, let's not forget the author of Mien Kampf, Adolph the Tenderizer.
...

These are images that once were
Like tan lines stretching across your shoulder;
Like starlight from some supernova;
Your photos in my albums;
...

Don't believe, for one second,
They'll hear nice things from me.
Were you dying for some kind of originality?
Well, let me just say,
...

The Big Bang is soundless.
The galaxies dim.
The universe contracts.
Compared to you.
...

I wish she were on my mind,
But she's not. She's in it,
And has full possession.
...

No need to tell The Don,
'Go F..k yourself; '
Just look at his family.
Especially the boys.
...

The eyes were still open
On the still life.
There's the difference
Between crossing the road
...

Winter tongues don't hibernate,
They grow legs in waiting;
Grey-sky words sprout wings,
For blooming lies in spring.
...
