I began watching time more closely
like it was a string in the wind
by the morning of your windows
but you didn't bother me too often

dressed in your hurry place gowns
the long and slender ones in velvet
that were always othering in directions
but were touching my shadows with silly

somone spilled imagination on my shirt
so I wore it more often like a wishing well
with sleeves that were always handy
to be just handy if you wanted handfuls

or poems in plastic bags without ribbons
that you could store in the garage
next to a dusty mansound memory machine
that only needed to be started sometimes

to make you look for sheet music dreams again

DS...Someone sure did spill imagination on your shirt, then washed it in imagery and dried it in the sun, in a yard where words grow.

...this is so rich...I knew it was yours from just the title...it is so you-ish

...fell in love with this stanza:

"someone spilled imagination on my shirt
so I wore it more often like a wishing well
with sleeves that were always handy
to be just handy if you wanted handfuls"

...I have one of those shirts...I would wear it everyday if life would let me...

Each line flows like water - waterfall water that skims lightly over rocks and sprays beauty over all who pause to admire.

As everyone else has stated ... these lines earn history in their script -----

Well done poet of the west sun.
