she wrote a poem once and, maybe deluded, i thought it was for me.
she’d written nine hundred poems in her time, but this one was for me.
i looked into her grayed eyes that day and they were like cameras to me.
i looked at her lips and that night i heard the words she spoke to me.
but maybe i’m deluded.
is…that…Patti…? she fucking rocks!!!!! my personal heroine…. yes many of her poems are based on you Master Reeves why wouldn’t they be…? very cool work xo

I can’t be bothered
To write a proper poem
So read this instead.
But yours are really poetic and beautiful!

The pairing of image and poem are disturbing yet strangely affecting. (I thought that looked like Patti Smith.)

I scoured my images for (not) hours and was hard pushed to decide what was for the best, Liz. Although the piece is not about PS, it could be! I wonder what other images would elicit? xo
