THOUGHTS OF NANUSHKA VOLUMES IX & X


when did passion
become pretence
and making love
a way to end our fights -
did we really use
those ugly words -
did it matter who was right -
we can never go back
to the way we were -
too painful to go on -
so let us part with dignity
before our memories,
our self express
and sanity are gone -


We choose our idols carefully
and reverently place them on
high upon a pedestal -
a mirror image of ourselves
as we would like to be -no wonder we become angry
when they fall -
and in the shattered reflection
we glimpse
our own feet of clay -
