Moved from a shack to a barn

0 posted 2003-02-27 11:06 PM



Snow, barren as trainwhistles

Beyond the horizon
trees claw up like hands
spilling earth

Cold quiet, expectant
with springs infant squeal
focus in toward the escaping breath
Watch it flutterdie
among the listless molecules

Stiff stretchings of woody spindles
reach roundless toward the ether
focus in toward the flaring ash
catching vapors in their branches

The moon, a wisp of smoke
Its’ stuttersigh
with thoughtful loving yous
Snatch it, catterwalling
from the missing yous

Singing hues
Blinding clues

Colors blind the dead and grey
Lovers bind the trees in flay
ribboned like the pole of May

Rapids
and whiteforked
foam
see my rocky soul
in the
loam

The witch is bound but longs to dance
Ghostly fingers pry the chance
round the silkened legs in prance

Whittled crow in bend of pine
as the flute flies on the breeze
and pining rows of brittle wheat
flatten glad beneath the feet

The spittle softens sheath
of priestess fair
and mourner meek

Puddling, on silent lips
whispers beg for name of beast
Rumors ask the boon of priest

The dance....
A stone...
A story..
A tone

Atone the bones of those in stones
the way the muscles move the bone
Read the shadow
of light on skin
as the sun
does rise again

Shed the story in sweat's begin
Begin the shed of sweaty sin

The stones, the tones
of listener's beat
bang the hearts
the soles of feet

Rippling shades of darkness bound
Ecstatic is the only sound

Praise the placing
of the
Crown

You should all come out and take another bow!  *applause*  I wouldn't know who wrote what where, but it worked beautifully!  So are each one of you going to post your own minutes from the meeting?  

I liked the title a lot...it's kind of crafty and leaves it open to just about anything,

Loved the ribbons on the May pole btw
and the placing of the crown!

Good troop you guys make~
