I haven't had much time to be on the site lately, but I finally had time for a catch up this evening and couldn't believe how far my poem "Her Pockets" had come since I was last on.

If you haven't found these gems yet, please listen to:

Riana's fantastic reading: http://www.hitrecord.org/records/155350
Caty P's beautiful song: http://www.hitrecord.org/records/155598
Todd68976's song additions: http://www.hitrecord.org/records/156134

Let's polish up the song, have some more vocal additions & then... make a video? I am completely amazed at how wonderful this is becoming. I never imagined my words could sound this good - thank you Riana, Caty & Todd! :)

Her Pockets

When she died, they took her things:


necklace, watch & silver rings.


They slid them off with expertise,


then took her wallet, phone & keys.


 


They put them in a plastic tray,


with her book & body spray,


a pen, a comb, her fake ID,


a pin badge labelled "shop trainee".


 


They wiped down all the bloody splatters,


then folded up her shattered glasses.


They tucked them in a scrumpled note,


complete with David Bowie quote.


 


They found a lighter in her jeans,


lipstick, pot and jelly beans.


Last they found the dog-eared letter,


"My death will make your lives much better."
