HOPE----by Louise

I'd like to

upload

myself to Heaven

via wireless

weightless eternity

defies physics

overrides charity

NOT YOU----by Louise

it is not you I love
when all the lovers lie

it is not you I hate
when all the enemies die

it is not you I mistrust
when banks go bankrupt

it is not you I worship
when volcanoes erupt

HER LAST MOON----by Louise

she sleeps silent
quieter than twilight
not last full moon she waits
so pale to face

her going is done
no more daisies in the sun
a belief to shake
a bit, but for her own sake

undecided that final moment
when all her dreams come to bow
in the drawers they dwell
rings a little bell

UNTITILED---by Louise

she can't escape
the thought
death,
ends with a finality

she can't escape
the thought
life,
flowers into a parody;

she can't escape
the thought
herself,
born a probability

thus,
death, her
thinking companion;
life, her
traveling joker,
herself,
a knowing gravity.

when young
death is, to her
but a fantasy;

when soul knows afternoon,
life is, but an ambiguity;
waiting for her,
to stir up that dusky mystery.

NOT PRINTED------by Louise

what is living

reading the dead

what is death

remembers the living
