N Love Survives Poem by Minnie Gehrig

Love lays on the tounge
thick as dessert dust
N dry

n hot across my brow
thoughts of you
wandering like clouds

pass before my eyes..........

N i am a distraction to my own
enviroment

something placed not quite right

like tigers n zoos

or mothers in bars.....

N my drinks sank smoothly
n your abcence
the fear subsided
as i fell into drunkeness

but in the morning it came back with the sun.........

n iam alive n our pain

n love survives
