Southern Wind~ By Dennis Reed

Sincere,
you move

though him like liquid
long cold drink

on a bastard
day,

honesty baiting
becoming

the nobility
your face.

rising above
onion fumes,

chopped liver,
the sandwiches

you create,
there is something

innocent and clean
about your attraction

2.

being unaware of how
others’ see you

is like not knowing
why the bullets are shot

at your movement
art,

know the motivation
of haters

lack of logic
in their brains

“someone is always
looking at you,” Aunt Mary

told me,
with arrows in their eyes,

blunt their arrows
with steely imagination

do not let
path full of weeds

3.

touch your primroses,
change cascading

images of the dream
they are a waving gallery

of hatred with
spotty handkerchiefs

in the air.

Every country has libraries despite their problems which are very limited in the premises. They do not like to make their problem of public because it affects the reputation of your own country. So to maintain your reputation, you have to confine things to yourself only.
