Julia Grandi Poems

Who are we if we are nothing...
If reason stands a chance against no chance
But opportunity still presents a face
And blithely we appreciate, such fate, and chance and grace...
...

Failure, jaded, suffocating reminiscence...
the pain of time that has been,
and remains a still life memory...
time past will always feel like failing in something.
...

We are two different suns.

The dusk takes you away, shrivelling you over the ocean waves
But i remain a blanket in the clouds.
...

Heavy pang for a twilight year
Where once my hand was taken, and i followed
Leaving behind a trail of naiveté
The trail i pick up now, with the voices of my past
...

Can it be so that every thought has been made
that all our sheets they have been laid
throughout a map of brilliance and time
these words
...

Eagle night and seen by sea
A distant call, in sonnet key
In any moment, place or time
A distant call is sent from high
...

Man made money or money made man,
This is a question of if one can,
Discriminate the sleight of hand,
Recognise the worth of land
...
