1.
My Back Door

The darkness shines through in pain
With reflections sold to tomorrow
The curtains are stained with time
But not enough for me to borrow
...

2.

I allowed my soul to jump among crickets

Watch the branches sway tangled on the breeze.

A women stood by the window
in her newly bought calico dress
barefooted she stood and shivered
as the wind blew against her breasts

10.

a parrot tried teaching me Russian
his efforts all in vein
