They were always on the outside...


Yesterdays [no. 1]

They were always on the outside
not because there was no door
but because it was where they

long ago chose to live.

I couldn't bring my world

to them, however I tried.
I could only extend the

invitation of an open hand.


Please replace me

if you dare...

Reach out for them.

If you care.
Listen to the silent screams

of these sad-eyed ladies.

Share their finely-tuned sorrows
when they join their pallid thin hands
with yours and guide you on their

journey to despair.
