Everything seen
           is taken
with form agreed
Thundering bleak stone
or insane reeds
                the difference between us

Considering the painting
           of night sky
with lazy orbs
Reflection glints cold
amongst shadowed lords
                the room that is within him

How the fish
          eyes the waterbird
with startled disc
Muttering spear thrown
at flashing risk
                rippling vision between them

Springing forth from
           the rose unseen
with blind unbinding
Bubbling scents collide
with tongue's rewinding
                beauty that is within her

Observe the clay
           surrounding you
as would a potter's wheel
All of it belonging
in a Potter's field
                no difference between us

Hard to pick and choose, this was all so good!!
But if I must, and I must..I've picked this~

How the fish
          eyes the waterbird
with startled disc
Muttering spear thrown
at flashing risk
                rippling vision between them


Really nice writing~

I tried to do that trick
of copy and paste
the lines that meant the most to me....

but everything you wrote was such,
a glaring intimacy
I could not.

There's so much I want to say
but you said it all.

And funny, but can we throw pots
big enough to yeild our lust??

enough.

I leave it up
to you--

our clay dug
from potter's field...

Wow, what a hook. (I do appreciate a good hook).

Can't put a finger on it, but, I see a difference in this....the write.

Brian~
I've read this a few times now, and I love
it more each time...it speaks volumes.
An incredible write.

Can I have this, framed, please?

gorgeous...


"amongst shadowed lords
                the room that is within him"

...isn't that just the loveliest thing?
(I happen to know, it IS.)
