AFTER THE FALL - 2009

These are poems of pain and betrayal, written to describe my thoughts and feelings when things not only do not turn out the way we think that they will but when life turns into a nightmare. They describe the awful impotence and rage when one is unjustly demonized and cast out and shunned. They describe the seeming angel who is really the devil, or the seraph with the flaming sword created to scatter and destroy hope.
They were written in moments of anger, sadness, and dispair.
Although to day is better than yesterday, the memories will always remain.

“And if any mischief follow, then thou shalt give life for life, Eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot, Burning for burning, wound for wound, stripe for stripe” - Exodus 21:23-24

“You are not permitted to kill a woman who has injured you, but nothing forbids you to reflect that she is growing older every minute. You are avenged 1440 times a day.” -Ambrose Bierce

  TRIPLE Gemini. Gemini's a snake, you can't trust the snake."
