I have talked to the mothman he carries your picture there in the dead leather of his tattoos he spoke of the trees and their wind I have seen their bark skin dry and heard the gasp of their tears you were rivers of rain before the trees call you bloodstone now they wore their green archipelago for you they were whelming brine colors then now they are droughty from your scolding wabun and mudjekeeouis bring fumes we prayed affusion prayers and soused the worry beads with words there was no wool pack tundra only the bushveld of stodgy straw I wear napery of canvas as my armor ©Dark [This message has been edited by Dark Stranger (06-24-2002 05:49 AM).] |

Getting scolded again are you? You're good with your armor like you are with your words. I liked it even if I don't speak the language. |

I have seen their bark skin dry and heard the gasp of their tears you were rivers of rain before the trees call you bloodstone now Need rain..dancing rain..drenching rain.. Such a fantastic word dance. Sincerely, Reg |
