Her hair is restless and doesn’t keep still it swims along the wind. In the shadows of the dock she beckons the Willy wag-tail speaks to pigeons about certain gods and rulers of the universe and wonders where all the sparrows have gone... perhaps she is insane. She stubs out her cigarette and looks for crumbs doing her best to shut out the rain the thunder-bolts in her head she is hooked and dangles over the sea a death grows there under miles of white cloud. A memory resurrects her dreams drown in a wild rhythm of a wild love and turns her back on the sun he who cannot cry he who whispers endlessly to her pain. April 11 2003 Beauty of the world which is soon to perish has two edges, one of laughter and one of anguish, cutting the heart asunder. (by Virginia Woolf) |

The thunderbolts in her head had me in awe. This had me there with her...smelling rain and feeling the grey. Into my library. xx |

This is a wonderful write, Maree. I agree with Martie...she is familiar. I missed your brush strokes on this one in Open 25, glad I didn't miss your portait here. You are one poetess I deeply admire. I don't think I've told you that before. And when I read your work, I both learn and enjoy. Happy Easter to you! Patricia |

Seems to me I remember this (but my memory goes wherever the sparrows go, when they go) - I do know I had to have loved it because I do now and I don't remember ever changing the way I love. jwesley |

I think I prefer this revision  though both are quite worthy to carry your name hugs JThere is society where none intrudes, by the deep sea, and music in its roar. |
