Cliches, Disbelief, Pretenses, Words We Have Avoided Poem by RIC BASTASA

Cliches, Disbelief, Pretenses, Words We Have Avoided



a bed of roses
mountain of gold
fountain of youth
shangrila,
magic potion
eternity,
love, martyrdom,
holiness,

charity, openness,
self-giving,

patriotism,
talent,
fidelity,

two glasses of red wine
a red carnation beside it

grapes of wrath
gone with the wind

apostle, crowning glory
sacrifice,

obeisance,
geisha, warrior king,
indulgence
