There is a pretty girl
singing songs to the pavement
her words
an intricate weave of runes
sinking into the stained concrete
Later,
when she has been absorbed by the city skyline
when the velvet scent of sunset
has slid over
to sheave the city
in amber and amethyst
The words will
shimmer and glow beneath the feet
of the whores
who
ply the sidewalks
listless galleons
tattered sails
puffed with capricious winds
The words will rise
up through
laddered stockings
sinking into the flesh
join with blood
flow through the broken
mornings
words of hope and salvation
words of tomorrow's
not tainted
with the taste of deadsex
and cigarettes.

What does this one mean?
It means there is always hope for change, even when it seems a life is already destined to follow its own tragic pathway to death or despair, the elements of chance or fate or whatever you might believe in can step in on any given day and alter forever,
the way you will live and die
...........hmmmm.........
oh i LOVE the whores as tatteredt galleons! That's brilliant! And this is a wonderful poem. One suggestion?
Maybe think of a different adjactive for the girl than 'pretty'?
Yeah, I agree, pretty girl is a little wrong for this,thanks, I will think up something else for it, actually, my favourite part of the whole thing is deadsex, its really evocative for me,not sure about anyone else though.
yep, absolutely. deadsex is exactly what I imagine sex with a prostitute to be like, for both parties. Sort of like scratching an itch.
Man. I'm looking at all the typos in my comment, lol. I wrote it in such a rush as I was running out the door
is ok, even if all your words ran together in one line and were backwards, I would know what you were saying to me
IF it is deadsex then why the hell would anyone want sex? Wouldn't you want to be lively something new, something that gives you insperation. Instead of trying to scratch an itch why not have that itch removed, and take some medicine or something... sorry for that the urge for sex is not something you can take medicine to get rid of. I tell ya something people should be like me.. able to live without it, and without the urge... i guess it is good that people want to have sex so they can populate the earth.. what they hell am i saying the earth is too populated and there are too many kids without homes people should stop populating... course this is daily so sorry that i had to put it on you.
