Erin B. - Blackout Poetry Notes

Freedom Of Mood

The benefit of being
a woman
is the simple fact of
fearless freedom of mood.

A dizzying sense
a feeling so strong,
so unknown, to simply name it:
attraction.

Look carefully
at sad eyes, at something
hidden beneath
a flicker of something,
an expression of wonder.

I want
to show you
what love is.

Listen carefully,
the fall and rise struggling
to be heard.
This song was familiar,
full of loneliness
an old ballad imprisoned
in his ghost.

It is tragic
how her generous spirit
of the heart
flowed
to sadness.

Walk about and look at
trees and birds,
I forgot how much I started improving
in a garden.

With this smile
of bitterness, I rather
give myself away.

This is monstrous,
he doesn't show his pain.
He is still alive, somehow.
Surely, he is not
quite right.

I am a wandering soul
with unfathomable
melancholia.
