With your petals of yellow and leaves of green, I see the splendour of creation... These are pictures I took in my garden in Braives, Belgium. Model: Caroline Madison // MUA: Michaelle Markus. See more photos from this shooting.

More than Flesh

Alone With
Everybody
.
By Charles Bukowski
.
the flesh covers the bone
and they put a mind
in there and
sometimes a soul,
and the women break
vases against the walls
and the men drink too
much
and nobody finds the
one
but keep
looking
crawling in and out
of beds.
flesh covers
the bone and the
flesh searches
for more than
flesh.

there's no chance
at all:
we are all trapped
by a singular
fate.

nobody ever finds
the one.

the city dumps fill
the junkyards fill
the madhouses fill
the hospitals fill
the graveyards fill

nothing else
fills.

Waiting Again

Waiting
.
By Eileen Ramage
.
You are from a world I used to know
Things moved at the speed of light
In that place there was no slow
For those like us it was just right

Now here we are on planet Earth
Where everything takes so long
We even wait nine months for birth
I wish I knew where we went wrong

How did we get in such a state
Always waiting in some line
What have we done to bring such fate
I know it's not a choice of mine

Waiting for food, service and men
Waiting for red lights to turn green
Here we are now waiting again
I really don't think it's our scene

Do we slow down just like the rest
Living life at a slower pace?
No! I Think I'll give it my best
And be ahead of the Human Race
