q is an a: keyboard mystakes

she was born in august
an empty month, summer fleeting with the
moon.

she thought blood was prettier splattered on the stained-
glass that was his church,

but her god never came to claim the surrender:
the white flag that no longer meant good tidings
but the spaces between broken virgin blotches of red.

the heat that slept sticky on the edges of skin
bent under the cold crisp scalpel wind,

she was born in august
at the juncture of indulgence
and the estranged.

I thought you just said we were done doing things the stupid way.

oh my godl you came back in with a bang, eh? i think this is amazing!! i especially love the last two stanzas!! fantastic! just one thing, it seems your format is a little weird in a one or two places. other than that, MUY PERFECTO!! and welcome back!

"Down, down, down into the darkness of the grave,
Gently they go, the beautiful, the tender, the kind;
Quietly they go, the intelligent, the witty, the brave.
I know. But I do not approve. And I am not resigned."

-- Edna St. Vincent Millay,
from "Dirge Without Music"

	"Hold my head inside your hands. I need someone who understands. I need someone, someone who hears. For you I've waited all these years. For you I'd wait 'til kingdom come, Until my day, my day is done. And say you'll come and set me free. Just say you'll wait, you'll wait for me."

Thank you dear.

Here's some backround on the title, I am using a french comp and the french keyboard is different that the american one. So where the a is the q is and vice versa. Takes some getting used to .

thankies again, PM.
