What She Saw

She looked at her own
reflection in his
sunglasses and she
liked what she
saw. Could he
see it
too? When he took them
off, she
could no longer see
herself in his
eyes.

That Doesn't Mean That He Is Dead

...he [Aleksandar Tijanic] said, the fact that Mr. Curuvija lies in the ground ''does not mean that he is dead and that we are alive.'' Link 

He bared his arms
to prove that he was in remission.
We have his last interview,
but that doesn't mean that we are alive.
There will be no reruns.
History is written by creative people.
Are we living in a police state?
It will be worse next year.
They built their house
far from the crossroads.
We have got brains, it is important
that we get well organised.
They can't keep him quiet,
even now,
and we have his last interview,
but that doesn't mean that
we are alive.

It Appears

The fortune cookie says:

"It is never too late. Just like it is never too early."

It appears

that it is never

on time.

This is my 2013 November PAD Chapbook Challenge Day 1 poem.
