[er..a phrase caught my nerve snarls, dragged and yanked, and I decided
to let the fragment out...no offense intended...tink]

comments?  thanks in advance, as I'm a bit confused as to whether
or not I like this enough to spend any more time on it...

gothic punk chick

pink yellow spiked hair
gloomy arches sporting rows of tiny silver rings
and a serious leather biker's jacket

covers.soft.down.
still.damp.
as.wobbly.legs.
stamp.
out.of.the.shell.

been hurt so much
that.pain.
caresses like a friend
needle and ice
in your ear

the great cuckoo of the universe
laid another soft-boiled egg
and out of the crack
with a razor blade slash
crept
a gothic punk chick.

gotta love it.

strutting fear,
twittering in-yo-face anger
(with a tremolo of "do you see me?"
and an undertone of "could you love me?")
black gothic arches,
strident punk rocker,
soft chick in a nest,
yearns to fly.
