the sullen change of ire-dredged straits
in fallow, felt-like ranks of creek-dead rows
dismiss the rivulets of life-borne nectar rich
and curse the cause of spring’s debut

like sediments of mind so loosely layered
in soul-strained strata lade with lodes of ethos
filled with granules of decaying order set adrift
in canyons of memory carved by passing time

flowing revenues of silt-lined pockets soft
stuffed with sand of soul and fresh with life anew

This is one of the best poems...(it is true poetry).....that I have seen here.

In fact I went away for quite awhile because I got so thirsty.

This is a long drink.

Thank you

Robert

You have illustrated in a way that I have not read before...new and fresh.

The language is full and throaty...
I like this Steven.  Great write.

A complex piece that fits the title, which is well chosen...

I like this...flows nicely

"like sediments of mind so loosely layered
