Letter to Anne

I see you dancing
around the radio
holding hands with the
circle of sanity
the flowers in your hair
unnoticed
against your catwalk beauty

as the doctor places you
back on the stage
so the other manics
can dream
of their own
medicinal puppet strings
carving a smile on faces
that for a moment
don't have to look
like
demons

I will visit soon
of this I promise

Review Request (Intensity): 
I want the raw truth, feel free to knock me on my back
Editing stage:

Maybe you should visit Anne, ASAP.
Strange little write more like an apology.
Take care yours Ian.T

There are a million reasons to believe in yourself,
So find more reasons to believe in others..

Thanks for stopping by. Fyi, the letter was addressed to Anne Sexton
