Skeleton poems

Written by ASK, Lorenze, Adriana, Ashley

1.Contentment.

Grey clouds sweep over the Arno

I think this paper will show communication is a comfortable illusion

Material things, like diamond rings,

My stomach is empty but my heart is full

And we never-

You leave me messages in the shape of sounds and

the end is near, we’re getting close…

I am content.

2. Surrender

I’d like to grow old with

You- are the color I see in darkness

Beautiful- thoughts twist and undulate like

Waves- and their silver shade on the shade

And- by bus or train, or even in the

Rain- washes the past, leaving me renewed

Breath, so sweet, I breathe you

Deep, blue of a sunless sea during a

Storm, clouds chase us away

When, suddenly I’m not alone

We, surrender.

3.Desperation

The building that’s facing me is falling

Down

Where I’m stuck

Onyx

In my forehead

Passion

Is magenta colored walls.

I want to sit with you in the light of

The moon

Refracts the light I emanate.

And I’m a desperate

Housewife.
