Sorry, I just had to get that out of my system. Which is your favorite? Do you have one of your own? :o)
And now for something completely different:
Tangle
There is more
than sex and death,
black and white
There is
the smooth, firm curve of grey,
with infinite points along
the cusp
This is where we live -
in the tangle,
in the tangle,
amid agony that may
(at any moment)
reveal
bliss
bliss
