You walk around with a bottle
and cigarettes behind your ears;
babe, the nicest thing you ever did for me
was offer to share.

Then you left me on the beach
in the middle of a high tide.
I went home soaked in salt water
And heartbroken.

How silly of me
to think that you were different.

What a greasey thing to do. We all meet the inconsiderate but like John Lennon said "Instant Karmas gonna' get you" may it come quickly to him.

Terse, Emotionally Intelligent, Well Done.

You know something about your work really changes my perception on the concepts you frequent. Usually your kind of poetry is not my cup of tea, but I have read nothing of yours that I have not been impressed with. Yet at the same time completely confused because I cannot figure out how you generate such emotion with such a simple structure. Here, in the sense of words you are quite simple and in sense of lines and stanzas you are straight to the point. Yet these hold such a power and raw emotion and I can not explain why.

You are certainly a great poet at your craft Christina. Keep it up, you have changed my ideas on your kind of poetry! BRILLIANT and EMOTIONAL!
