1979.

An ocean of night,
encroaching ever onward
until it swallows.

1978.

Charades to all but
the central figure who trusts
with eyes closed. Dumb girl.

1977.

How can the heart of
the questioned so easily
break? Perfidious.

1976.

Thumping out each beat
in a discordant turn of
love's hypocrisy.

1975.

This results in a
set miserliness born of
fragile bitterness.

1974.

Shown by this woman's
heart as a ship. Forever
searching for its moor.

1973.

With a dangerous
underside hiding in all
my soft dismissals.
