Poems

loving you frightens me Can you hear it, Dave, that noise outside What happened? It’s midnight almost and I silently stare When I arrive Love Ana, Ljubljana is a nightmare They wouldn’t give anything to help me The dog runs about the meadow as I watch It seems that missiles have lit up the sky Friday is the day you think of death

Poems

loving you frightens me

Can you hear it, Dave, that noise outside

What happened?

It’s midnight almost and I silently stare

When I arrive

Love Ana, Ljubljana is a nightmare

They wouldn’t give anything to help me

The dog runs about the meadow as I watch

It seems that missiles have lit up the sky

Friday is the day you think of death

Do you see fingers through the dark
