Snow as barren as trainwhistles beyond the horizon trees claw up like hands spilling earth cold quiet expectant with spring's infant squeal focus toward escaping breath stiff stretchings of woody spindles watch it flutterdie among the listless molecules reach roundless toward the ether focus in the flaring ash catching vapors in their branches-- the moon a wisp of smoke. Watch it --stuttersigh-- with thoughtful "loving yous" snatch it--caterwalling from "missing yous"--singing hues (blinding clues) colors blind the dead and grey rapids and whiteforked foam see my rocky soul...in the loam. Lovers bind the trees in flay ribboned like the pole of May the witch is bound but longs to dance-- ghostly fingers pry the chance. Whispers beg for name of beast round the silkened legs in prance. Rumors plea the boon of priest whittled crow in bend of pine as the flute flies on the breeze twining rows of brittle wheat flatten'd glad beneath the feet as the spittle softens sheath of priestess fair, and mourner meek. the dance.... a stone... a-story-tone... Atone? the bones of those in stones the way the muscles move the bone (read shadow of the light on skin) as the sun does rise again.. story, shed, in sweat's begin-- attending shed of sweaty sin puddling on silent lips... The stones the tones of listener's beat. Bang the hearts--the soles of feet-- rippling shades of darkness bound (ecstacy the only sound) music to my eyes Praise say yea of comforting-- take you-- placing of the crown... curtsey in a beer belch frown-- silver balls beat shades of blue.

 (BIG ANGEL GROUP HUG) Oh my gosh, all four of you did this, this is incredible! I've never seen a collaborative effort as big as this, this sounds like so much fun, yay! (sigh) This is truly a classic, sweet friend, God Bless You, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Karen, Michael, Wranx, and Brian, thank you all for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon all four of you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |

Bumping you too witchy woman! Do tell, did the four of you write verses and then make them your own in a poem. Each thought is fascinating and could stand on it's own. It's all in the 'craft' I suppose! |

A poem quartet! Cool. (A first?) If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again. |

This was SO much fun---thanks for reading, and I recommend a collaberation such as this to everyone. Writing with another challenges you to go places you wouldn't normally go--y'kinda have to give up control, which makes it interesting, ESPECIALLY with this group of guys. I want to thank you all for reading, but special heart-hugs for wranx, mikie, and brian. I'm a lucky lady to keep such fine company!  |
