The wind is always blowing dusty sighs
Here, in late September
Her hands had been small; gently… perfect,
But so small and slender
And cold
Damn
(Weak)
It creaks, like my knees. Damn.
I think I am going to cry
a corpse is always a lie
And cold

If it&#039;s good, then I&#039;ll be envious and hate it even more. You don&#039;t want the opinion of another writer.&nbsp;

Loved your personification with the wind. This poem has few words, but is packed with delth and meaning. I agree, thr 2nd dam.n should have its own line. Amazing, 5/5

Awesome poem. It's nice and simple, but also has amazing depth. I only have one suggestion: I think the 2nd dam.n should be given its own line, just to be consitent.
