an unlived life (jch -- 1/24/99)
the fear of an unlived life
weighing options
weighing me down
waiting
more waiting
hesitating
suffocating
within these walls of air
        in a decomposing city

fat cows getting fatter
pale moons getting paler
a momentary reflection of her face
        on the still water -- peaceful,
        lovelorn; innocence regained

retained
