How's your week been?
Mine's been good except for the other day when my laundry was stolen & I was insulted four times. I was called fat once & old three times.

Abused
The tiny feet of a squirrel on a tin roof;
nothingness is a corrugated top.
You look up from there, a frightened life;
a squirrel, not playful; in search . . .

Something Like a Love Poem

Ravenous beast
born from boiling seas
rampaging barely beneath,

exhaling snarling flame
riotous burning blame

Honoring lives left behind
not in fecund fields
open to air and sunlight
tended father to son,
mother to daughter.
Dust to us.
Lives not given, . . .

What were the scuttling claws?
T raveling moonbeams along neuro-electric

verboten for the word "forbidden", here is a group where you can put all of your hidden or not-so-hidden desires and do's and dones and post, be it in poetry, photography, prose, nonfiction, or your artwork. The only criterion is that it is usually socially verboten - not the norm... outside of traditional mores and customs. Absolutely NO pornography allowed of any kind (it will be deleted), but otherwise, welcome and join in... we all have our (bit or little) verboten tales to tell through our art...please flag your content if appropriate... xanthe
