[hometext] => What I like most about this poem is firstly the images it creates in the mind and secondly the flow of the piece, it's based on an aspect many people have in their characters, the reluctance to warm to others....
[bodytext] => Despite changing faces
Of the old time I gave you, The dunes still shift over-swept sands. Discovering new places In the morning Cassandra, Is your own torn lace Of interlocked strands. Despite the dimensions Of collapsed inhibition, Folds of trapped ribbon in eyes, I let you think me a fool, Dear Cassandra Believing I can’t see past the disguise. Despite corrugated words Spitting splinters Cassandra Despite knowledge that love won’t suffice Lives the clarity of tragic fact Poor Cassandra That your shield is weaker Than newly formed ice.
