the island vine
writes grapes in
rolled up messages
jammed in seafaring bottles
Remorse code
tapped out on
telegraph keys
Tap,
Tap,
Tap,
tap tap tap
Tap,
Tap,
Tap,

on Tenterhooks
she waits
as bottles wash
on Barren shores

readers drink
taps and slashes
razors red
and black nails,
desire and thirst
lust in crimson verse

they Drink drunk
from shore borne
bottles
and thirst again

more

more

but they Leave her
on her island
like forgotten
grapes

a Tear falls like silk
on the tigress cheek
she waits
for someone
to drink her
instead of crushed
lexis
pressed from
her broken
heart

and
Withers
as her fruit multiplies
leaving nothing
before ashes

Reb, I don't remember reading this
the first time around...maybe I did,
and maybe this time? I took it in on
a whole new level....

I've been learning lately,
even more than before,
each new day brings the old mold
into break-new life....

it's a long story...
but it's a good one.

This was beautiful and heartfelt.  It was a pleasure...yet a sorrowful...read.  Truly enjoyed this one.
