In the sordid caste of flowers, the wild rise on their stems for a name, and rupture into light through the copse of partridge berry distances tumble over the wet colors, like mauve kisses along the soles of an eventual sunrise, that comes moaning free of the fastened dark, in the wet jazz soliloquies of light and suddenly, through the lips of September’s lovely grind, to bind the Summer’s cunning wounds, your hands reach far into the blue hordes of wildflower, and redolent fevers, kindled by some hummingbird’s blurred and exquisite agitation,you are the body of my confession and South marks the same unfathomable distance home, over the prairie that tonight grants calm, in the balm of C minor, a sibilant liquid dream of rain soothes, my voice grows hoarse and stills, though from the hush of willows, rasps the vast reservoir of wind, as the jay, a blue throb in the holly, casts my hue in lush cascades of desperate, abandoned braids lift the fever’s muslin depths and these unaccompanied words, sing a cappella, proverbs in petty sounds spill from a cracked jaw and a parched throat, upon the Sabbath night of the heart heaven never thought to map this distance and its jubilee over wildflowers, I bear your name to stay the mauve hour of devout crickets, crouched in the rain, dying in the thick falsetto of mist and the sordid hum of birds, dim in their hollow cote, and sudden blue, sudden blue, how I adore you.  |

Sounds like jazz, Could almost hear the sax in the background And the thump of the bass. Gloom |

Much ‘excellence’ here…but, as an inveterate ‘cascading imager’, I am especially fond of: “by some hummingbird’s blurred and exquisite agitation”; “…the prairie that tonight grants calm, in the balm of C minor”; “devout crickets, crouched in the rain, dying in the thick falsetto of mist”; AND: “In the sordid caste of flowers, the wild rise on their stems for a name, and rupture into light through the copse of partridge berry distances tumble over the wet colors, like mauve kisses along the soles of an eventual sunrise” fine photo.-imaging as well! serious applause!! |

lift the fever’s muslin depths and these unaccompanied words, sing a cappella, proverbs in petty sounds spill from a cracked jaw and a parched throat, upon the Sabbath night of the heart I know this feeling your song projects...and I love it...it is sooo bittersweet....lovely, simply masterful writing. |
