they say of the warrior
that his skin is metal
mantled over stone

something hard coated
with a light shining through
from the empty within

but from inside this bottle
I am free as the wind
and their laughter is invisible

as today, I am mostly yesterday

Heavy and profound, DS.  I have two Gurkha Khukuri hanging on my livingroom wall.  With regard to the bottle, an old Irish saying I made up goes "For the Irish diaspora, more Celtic history, tradition, and mysticism is to be found in a single bottle of Jameson’s than in all of Tipperary."

AH..Thanks guy...I usually bask my gurkhas in gentleman jack for a few weeks...the humidor is complex with it's arteries that vent the scent and flavors..then I can close my eyes and the cigar finds my smile as if it were returning to its birthing den.

This reminds me of recent conversation.  Needless to say, I like this - May I keep it, photo and all?
