Stoney Creek’s

sinuousness is characterized by
its many curves turning and winding
down I also felt it in the morning
train I heard it in the supple
lithe movements of
the windy
change
all too many
times I was about my
way down and around to get
the mail when I sliped somehow
I sinuated and fell twisted there I
riddled the sunrise not so high
above the flexuous bleu
cotton sky like a
louvered
shade
allowing
slivered waves
of light I walked the only
winding road in sight that’s when
I got into devious thinking about what
makes a person want to know the
wherefore and the why of so
many curving lines that
I just couldn't
remember
not having the
form or movement of
a flexuous serpentine or
if it was October or July
then all at once it bit
me leaving a
bloody
snaking
line right down
my unsuspecting arm
but you'll never believe
the sinuous reason why
I saw the where fore
but that’s okay
I never
sinuously
thought or fell
to much for
yours

My mind does a lot of wonderful traveling while reading your work, Sir. Whats this doing way down where I found it? enjoyed!

How grave is my condition, for I cannot find the words to say, I need you so.
