Dolls

Women that like to dress their men
Liked to play with dolls
As little girls.
As little girls will.
But boys who do not know how to dress
Themselves as dolls
Will be dressed by little girls grown
INSOMNIAC AWARENESS by Igor Goldkind

A New poem revised.
The Poesie of Igor Goldkind – Reciting Truth to Power
We who are hiding in our second bedrooms,
Licking the silver from the backs of our screen,
Are living in a differently timed zone
Of insomniac awareness.
Sometimes 2, sometimes 3, sometimes 4 or more
Lives are lived and lost each night.
In our rooms, by ourselves
Sitting too close to the edge of our beds.
This is our legacy
The lasting perpetuity of our sensory species:
The glow that contests the light that once shone from our eyes,
Right up to the razor’s edge of our understanding of
What is not yet known.
The un-utterable.
What can barely be thought , much less said and
Yet still dances these words so merrily across this page.
In the ballet of silence that surrounds them.
Who are you reading this?

The Making of “A Day In The Life”
This turned me on…
A Day In The Life

Confetti

There’s an emptiness at the heart of any space:
The air that escapes a room; an unanswered echo,
a vacant womb.
There’s an emptiness in my heart
That reminds me that
All of my ideas are empty.
Floating leaves from a fumbled folder.
Coloured streams falling from the sky.

This emptiness reminds me
How slight my desires really are
How gently they fall from the sky
A confetti of mercy and discarded emotions,
They are in the end
Compared to nothing,
Merely the litter from an emptied mind.
