Good prayers with flaxen tiles
Folding my fingers one by one
Consciousness was listening, to….
Personal charts reexamined
Like Doppler hatching a riddle of mid-day

Memories exist, outside of meaning
Ones which belonged to me...
Taking new shape for namesake
Leaving the first lick of candied taste
All-knowing love mail
Dare I mention...
Resonating heart space

Wondering what good spirit was with me today?
I made a list of qualities
You know the ones...
Wearing speakeasy messages
Reaching an unknown crossroad
Milkweed with rhyming muscle
Lives long enough to develop a mythos
Collecting hoards of strong thighs
Becoming a constant opponent
Of quarrel

If I’d been lost in the woods
I’d have froze that December
Instead, my mind committed suicide
But decided it was unorthodox & impractical
Instead, flying colors landed on my shoulder
Telling me about tropical orchards

Refined June bugs fell
Like pages from a calendar
Into some cloudless scheme
Writing meaning
Into my needs
Like a meat encasing
With bizarre imagery
To a point of vision
Locking safe-hand thickenings

Admitting an irreversible cadence
Transforming nostalgia into present day
Fostering thoughts at the end of my mind
Into hurry home paths

Amazing..like poems within poems.

ms lee j, some soft soothed sidewalk
footfall quiet
with welcome home gingerbread
and slow dance shoulders

just around the corner there
at your eye edge waiting


enjoyed you here ms

Lee~

'Wondering what good spirit was with me today?'

Oh my dear poetess ... no doubt in my mind that it was the Spirit-of-Tender-Remember~

~*When the heart grieves over what it has lost,
the spirit rejoices over what it has left.
