Dissected by the Moon It was last night when across the floor a slice of white came through the door I was dissected by the moon into variegated delight of room As from my sleep I woke to see all of me rumpled satin cream as the movement of the galaxies crossed the valley of my dreams I turned to dimensions more than three and even through the screen this beam kissed my breath to sharp intake and made of me a shadowed gate To Delphi with frenzy of Pythia oracle of ancient sound you see I felt Apollo reach my bed whispering words of love long dead It mattered not that warm sweet wind came with the slice that cut me thin I knew the breath was born from bone that crossed through veil of time unknown So bitter sweet the touch of rare in ancient Greece my youth so fair that spilled from out this mouth of pearl it left me never more a girl --- 8-25-02 |

good one martie...seems we both are enchanted by the heavens. Contabo If I went on revising everything that I now do not like in this book I should be so busy that I would have no time to try to write new poems. Dylan Thomas |

I read this late last night, but the full moon got into my eyes, and blinded me... it WAS lovely... as is this. |

No single quote captures this. It is ALL amazing. The synergy of your vision and talent again leave with open mouth. |

Martie, I absolutley love this write. But since nobody else asked I will: What does that last line mean? If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again. |
