    meeting you

    black gloss,
    doorways painted,
    open up like shadows
    sideways

    into alleys
    where a drunkman
    sleeps, hiding his
    face beneath his
    jacket.

    she dances
    as he watches
    from a table.

    late night conversations
    break with every movement
    she is making.

    her reflection
    is his image
    twisted.

    The starkness of this poem makes me think of Charles Bukowski. I hope you take that as a compliment because I certainly mean it as such.....

    you are an exceptional writer....i am impressed with the way you get your point across with so few words used. and the words you chose are loaded with so many different points of reference. dude you rock....write on.....

    Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

    Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
