Diane Arbus (Photographer)

.
.
The air breathes foul in fog
as ,
they flock with fleeting
extensions
of wanna be arms

The UFO'ed
realizations
had borders bleached
by sun
in tide's time

You find eyes
staring
into iota's intensity
you . . .
thought tepid in turmoil

Transient in appearance
bleeding in permanence
to the knife's edge
emotionless
in the apartment's aperature

Drift away in sadness
of ,
Diane Arbus
whose facts flee from fiction

    At this point I can't say I honestly blame her but taking her own life will not decrease the pain. Poor women. Excellent poem!
