    After the Storm

     Alas, I've turned you in
    turned you off
    you don't belong here any more
    wild nights and slit my wrists
    i've turned you out
    i've been walking
    straight
    no more dead end streets
    with dead poets and fancy sluts
    like me or leave me
    i've danced with the devil enough
    i'm singing blood
    and sweating dreams
    i'm combing my hair with angels breathe
    living finally without your dread
    without your disgust
    i'm loving life
    and living free
    no more
    pain
    and tangled webs
    my veins have healed
    my brain has cleared
    after the storm
    i see the road ahead
    walking forward
    leaving behind
    nightmares of you and your death
    your laughter and filth
    your bleeding wrists
    after the storm
    i stand alone

    When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.

    John F. Kennedy (1917-1963) Thirty-fifth President of the USA
