-glyph-glyph-glyph-

a measured drop
and beads?

- you see? - they're mercury

clingingly miraculous
like whores who had been paid for this
around the world without a kiss
the pores of skin too thin

resist

a label of complacency
they bleed the gloss of lubricant

salt

in channels deep below

prove that once were tears.

Perish the thought what we could see with both eyes open!

"salt

prove that once were tears."

You have cried many a river, witchysis! ~ too many...

when I stay up late
and strain my eyes
I see the rock people
moving their mountains around

just to screw with national geographic

your minds eye takes us to pretty amazing places,
and the tears that became a desert, need to undergo irragation

"a measured drop"

In a literal sense, I wonder why we do that?

alright maybe it's just me...   

no, it isn't, come to think about it...because we greive and when we somehow reach that invisable line others start looking at us funny as if to say, "okay, your greiving time is up."  

Well, that is what I thought about when I read this..

love this lady.  and you too!

the pores of skin too thin

read this right after emailing you...
once again the timing is twinny.



I'll bare the brunt of your long buried pain
I don't mind helping you out ...
But I want you to remember my name

Hmmmm, us one eyed people know what you mean.

If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again.

You are so creative, lady!  When I read this the first two times, I was sure I understood it's completeness.  Wrong...when I read your comment, then I understood...and something in me clicked for just a second as if I were you at the moment of conception of the analogy....weird feeling lol.  Anyhow, another treasure much appreciated.  AND .....   .....jojo

You see very well through your third eye, sincerity.....ummm I mean serenity.

Truely salt must drip because of what the inner eye witnesses...it can tell a lie in a blink, unlike the outer ones.

A deep poem, but I think I understand what it means...

I know I understand that I like it..

Serenity...You ever wonder why the world doesn't look have bad after a drunk?
Most of the the time we still have one eye closed...Paul

Glad to read you and take part in a little humor
