Wild thoughts, or: Crumpled sheets

‘Night of wonder’, a poem by Angela of ‘Poetisatinta’

put art before self,
seize a night of wonder
for in this curious reality
the woman kindles,
touches, talks and
wild thoughts melt
in a silk dressing gown
shredding particles of light.

A ‘Shadorma’ by ben Alexander of ‘The Skeptic’s Kaddish’

morning glow
flickers on silk robe
abandoned
by bedstead
amidst castoff crumpled sheets
of journal pages

Let’s write poetry together!

When it comes to partnership, some humans can make their lives alone – it’s possible. But creatively, it’s more like painting: you can’t just use the same colours in every painting. It’s just not an option. You can’t take the same photograph every time and live with art forms with no differences.

–Ben Harper (b. 1969)
