How far and irreparable the heart falls from the page, indulgent muscle of soft, red clay, kaolin omen of the coming ash, as if its syntax could lead us inexplicably to grace, through all the left over marl of roadside wildflowers, the moon begins to shoulder up and the dogwoods go red, as lips form fine words, soundless as rain runs its largest sutures over a gaping landscape, held intact by gossamer faith, dead leaves like words fall about the shoulders, outsource night to the fleeting eternities, as if this moment was meant to last forever, long over, the light once silky and rare dims to a glare, slingshot and backlit in the tepid dregs of moon shadows, a gold guise of limbs dusted with cinnamon gives off the illusion of elegance, our lips form fine words, soundless psalms summered out of wounds to summon a phantom of something removed, and with what weary yawns the unwilling flesh robes its spirit in Lethe as lips that yet utter breath from ash, are dust. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~from The Fairytale Journals  |

I like the delineation of images, and how you paint them almost as lessons. Your wordplay is, of course, superb and very knowledgeable. Another enjoyed read! Caught away from the more northern scenes, it is too easy to forget - temporarily - that Autumn is not all gorgeousness and Thanksgiving, but a wild, life-changing, sometimes sopping, and sometimes lonely season as well. Thanks for the needed reminder. Hmmm, hopefully the weather will be good!  |

the moon begins to shoulder up and the dogwoods go red, as lips form fine words, soundless as rain runs its largest sutures over a gaping landscape, held intact by gossamer faith, ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Such a nice verse that is... After reading this I came away with a sense of abandonment and/or betrayal.. and yet it reads so poetically beautiful. Always a wonderful read from you, baby bella~ |
