Her Collected Poems

from Speak When I'm Spoken To by Roy Møller

/

about

This was about someone with unique thoughts and insightful observations which aren't recorded on the page or even social media but washed away like the tide flooding over the sand. No posterity, no record, no aftertaste distilled like the spirits hung upside down in bottles behind the bar and on-tap for all.

The "people seem to think that she's crazy" melody comes from an old Meth OD song called The Power of Positive Thinking written by Dale Carnegie fan Rob Smith.

lyrics

Her collected poems could surely break a heart if by heart I could know them – girl, you better start
To keep those pieces of paper – don’t throw them away
We’ll read & take heed of the lovely things you say
Take time to know them – her collected poems
People seem to think that she’s crazy – too hazy & easily hurt
But her collected poems – I know what they’d be worth
Just her selected poems could surely break you down
Into your core components and spin your all around
What she fleetingly thought at the seaside & carved with a stick in her hand’s
Not on the seashore anymore, washed away by the sand
Take time to know them, her collected poems
People seem to think that she’s lazy – a runaway, a little town flirt
But her collected poems I know just what they’re worth
People seem to think that she’s crazy, etc
Take some time to know them …her collected poems
