I'm not...

i'm not lonely
sleeping all alone

you think i'm scared
but i'm a big girl
i don't cry
or anything

i have a great
big bed
to roll around
in and lots of space
and idon't dream
bad dreams
like i used
to have that you
were leaving me
anymore

now that you're gone
i don't dream
and no matter
what you think
i'm not lonely
sleeping
all alone


by Nikki Giovanni

Flames to dust

My eyes
brimmed
with
tears
i choke
on
my defeat
the last
ray
of hope
glimmers
and then
is
gone...


Good-bye Sunshine...
