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
