beauty

[addy]

I've very little issue with what you have here right now... I love this poem, and you have some really gorgeous lines. Your examples of beauty were delicately chosen and excellently phrased... to the point that even images I'd never think to associate with beauty won me over. I really like the conflation of beauty and deep feeling within a person's mind, it rings very true.

beauty is whatever you think beauty is

a woman's breasts
a man's torso
flowers wedged in gray fences
the sun above a lonely bench
a sandwich laced with bacon grease

the love of a friend
the corpse of a whore
children playing in dark caves
a wine decanter almost full
the moon the wind the sodden earth Love this so far

there are perhaps "perhaps" muddles it up for me and don't think you need it, just imo more perceptions
of what beauty is
than there are things
to be considered beautiful

reality doesn't exist after all
as the TV shrinks are fond
of reminding their patients I think this closing sounded rushed, a little out of left field. Maybe because it ends with a line that sounds oddly objective and removed... the POV is phrased in a way that implies it has little to do with either patients or doctors, so it seems an odd thing to bring up and brings no closure to the perspective
