Premium Member She Had the Cleft of Kirk Douglas
She had the cleft of Kirk Douglas. It was decidedly brilliant on her. It fit her mind and her attitude. I watched it talk along with her mouth. Where had she gotten such a cleft? It is rare to see these days. It was more fashionable in the forties. I wondered about it for days. I never saw her again. But one time was...

Premium Member Neurons Fire At Will

Lonely bench weeps beneath me Trees whistle their sorrow Flowers' petals folded inward Will dawn come tomorrow Birds' songs have been silenced Hark -- famished dogs bay The skies bring forth darkness Moon and stars sent away For you've vanished again Not a trace of you left Your reasons not...
