Fragment XXVIII

She lives in color,
wears roses and a Rilke poem
to keep the heaviness
of life at bay.


Zaina Anwar, October 2011

Poem- Fragment XXVII

Egon Schiele

Stripped of all rationality
are these words
that hang about in the air for me.

It's like peeling
a lemon to the core,
struggling with one's own thoughts
to put them to sleep.
