1072

UNREQUITED 
She lay there like a  paper doll

Cast to a windy day

All resolve is spoken in the colour pink

And consciousness knows no kindness


How many rocks need be stationed

To the rigors of love unrequited

How many hearts smashed on the altar of 

Fruitless strawberry bushes


Should she stay there bruised

Like grapes underfoot

Like garbage strewn

Like an eight day week
