Shuddering under the autumn stars, each year, the head sinks lower and lower.

In The Beauty Of A Lower Heaven
Autumn in Paris is like summer in a lower heaven.
Sycamores and chestnuts paint the air,
Pencil-thin branches sketch the city like Utrillo,
The Seine sets leaves in moon-glass.
We caught the metro at Bir-Hakeim
Near Vel’ d’Hiv, the Nazi detention center.
Cyclists went flying into fire and ash
In the beauty of a lower heaven.
Something grotesque in the accordion
Like a fascist playing Mozart.
Something hypnotic in the sound,
The bellowing of giving birth to terror.
In the beauty of a lower heaven
All the people are lovelier, tranquil,
Even at rush hour music tames
The writhing beast of megalopolis.
Goodnight Paris, bonne nuit,
Your accordions are like history
Repeating the music and the horror
In the beauty of a lower heaven.
Goodnight Roseline, Simone and Eliana…
We will meet again, Aviva…
The doors of the trains are opening
In the beauty of a lower heaven.

I wasn't able to lower my cholesterol so they put me on a statin drug. It is called lipitor. I was able to lower my level in about 30 days from above 300 to below 200.

030410 Teasing My Mind
i can't keep
but notice
those two twins
teasing my mind
those lines are
getting lower and lower
sometimes i'm tempted
to tug at laces and look
what's there for me
but you keep my hands
together with your
shopping bags

However, in spite of the general perception that monetary policy should be conducted so as to avert deflation, a central bank cannot lower interest rates below the zero lower bound.

When you are making a record and if you spend too much time over it, you have to record it a tone lower or cut the tones lower because you can't reach some of the notes, I find this. But when you go on stage, you have to put the key up and it really changes the whole thing.

First, we have to lower our costs to levels that are more competitive. This will prevent the lower-cost airlines from pushing us out of the markets we want to serve. We've made great progress on this front, but we need to keep pushing.

Lower And Lower
To sink lower and lower,
It will be your purpose,
It will overtake you,
For a sign and for a wonder;
To venture,
To touch the dirt,
Begrudge!
Afraid of,
The fearful plagues! !
Severe and lingering,
Distress,
Harsh and prolonged,
Disaster! !
Illness,
But, few in number;
As seen from one end of the earth to the other.

They think because I'm small, they can do what they want to do to me. But I'm not weak. If I lower my shoulder and they lower they're shoulder, they're going to go down.

CinemaScope
I was thinking that, when we get to heaven,
will we be made to sit in an auditorium,
and be shown on a huge 'CinemaScope' screen
a film of 'our life' from start to finish,
the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.
Scaring?
Could be! Looking back, reviewing things,
things you'd rather not look back on.
Analysing each second, minute, and hour,
day, month and year.
Shrinking lower and lower into your seat.
No escape! No way out! - It would be compulsory!
How would you feel after all that 'revealing stuff'.
Makes you realise that what we make of our lives
could be very important - later!
Trouble is, there's no going back
and clicking on 'EDIT' - is there!

The situation was, the team I was on when I got injured went down to the lower leagues. In America, they don't have that relegation, so when the team went down to the lower region, every player has his value, and they went off and sold any player who had value.

While teaching, I also worked undercover in the lower courts by saying I was a young law teacher wanting experience in criminal law. The judges were happy to assist me but what I learned was how corrupt the lower courts were. Judges were accepting money right in the courtroom.

Alone
He put the gum in his right
lower pocket, where it belonged;
The Certs in this heat melted, staining his right
upper pocket, a crying shame.
The green stone went in his left
upper pocket along with the key to nothing;
the robin's egg nestled in his left
lower pocket but never hatched.
He crisscrossed the flats between
the two rocky spires and, every day,
wished he had a compass
or to find anything that could control
his life's motion.
But he never found that thing,
except for thre head-bones of a cow,
and he could not contrive a place
for them, so he buried them and mourned:
Later on he died alone.

Thoughts on a Still Night
Bed before bright moon shine
Think be ground on frost
Raise head view bright moon
Lower head think home
Before my bed, the moon is shining bright,
I think that it is frost upon the ground.
I raise my head and look at the bright moon,
I lower my head and think of home.
The entire lower world was created in the likeness of the higher world. All that exists in the higher world appears like an image in this lower world; yet all this is but One.

Facing The Blank Face Of The Ceiling
poetry is not
as complicated
as
removing your
dress
and then going
to the
rest room
and brushing your
teeth,
it is not even
that moment when you
look at yourself in
the mirror
and seeing a new
wart at the lower
part of your
lip,
poetry is more of
putting your head
on the pillow
and then you gaze
the blank face of
the ceiling
wondering if
stars still hang
in there.....

I Will Not Lower Myself
I will not lower my vibration for you
even though you try to control me with your goo.
Your goo of lies that you spurt out
I will not lower my self to you without a doubt.
I will keep shining my light-
no matter if it is day or night.
I will not deter from who I really am-
even though you tell me your liitle scam.
For my revenge would be conscious on my part
your sickness is something you believe in your heart.
In the end I would not evolve
for the lying on your part was not resolved.
