    Mari

    She's got a dress
    blue with yellow stars
    blues and yellows
    and their mixture like space duel.
    A little green hair-holder in back.

    Her stare is blue
    strands of gold hair hanging.
    We stand staring as bombs explode.
    In the distance out by the sunset.

    This is not really as it seems, is it?
    This is more than a balcony
    and you're more than a woman.

    I saw Brookwood demolished
    and I thought about
    that damned ball and chain.

    Tasted the dust of ancient
    and I do remember.

    Her dress had these symbol
    star-like squiggles
    the flame had affected her some.

    I saw the multicolored fire
    it skipped frantically across alandscape.

    This is not really a balcony
    and you're more than a woman.

    I felt the softness
    the misty air was choking and warm.

    Colors: lavender, amber, sky blue.
    Stencil writings.

    Bricks and scratchy sheetrock that squeaks
    beneath it all.

    The animals all taking on a color of wonder.

    This is not really what is seems like
    is it?

    This is not more than a balcony
    and you're only a woman.

    This one is almost exactly forty years old, and accurately depicts the moment in time.

    This is not really what is seems like
    is it?

    This is not more than a balcony
    and you're only a woman.

    -Will Dockery

    One of your most lovely poems Doc...

    Thanks, like I said, this is another reality based poem.

    Mari

    She's got a dress
    blue with yellow stars
    blues and yellows
    and their mixture like space duel.
    A little green hair-holder in back.

    Her stare is blue
    strands of gold hair hanging.
    We stand staring as bombs explode.
    In the distance out by the sunset.

    This is not really as it seems, is it?
    This is more than a balcony
    and you're more than a woman.

    I saw Brookwood demolished
    and I thought about
    that damned ball and chain.

    Tasted the dust of ancient
    and I do remember.

    Her dress had these symbol
    star-like squiggles
    the flame had affected her some.

    I saw the multicolored fire
    it skipped frantically across alandscape.

    This is not really a balcony
    and you're more than a woman.

    I felt the softness
    the misty air was choking and warm.

    Colors: lavender, amber, sky blue.
    Stencil writings.

    Bricks and scratchy sheetrock that squeaks
    beneath it all.

    The animals all taking on a color of wonder.

    This is not really what is seems like
    is it?

    This is not more than a balcony
    and you're only a woman.
