Inside and Out

(Word deck assignment for Mrs. Morelands Creative Writing, 1/28/09)

Ironic, repulsive love,
Only admirable hate.
Haven’t you hear?
Love and hate go hand-in-hand
It twists dreaming hearts,
Turning villains to heroes
And heroes to dust:
Nothing but electricity
In a passing stroke of brilliance.
Drain all exhausting energy
Until we are nothing but fresh ice,
Old blood, new death.
Cure the bitter wolf
Before you’re the innocence caught in it’s path.
How can we
Hate to love and love to hate?
We awake dreaming
And die to live.
Protect your Revolutions:
Screw the box and think whatever.
