there under the velvet armor
of a samurai night
my eyes brail finger the outlines
of the wall of ravens

their soot black shadows with sheen
nervous footing the magic wire
do they know the vibrations are not god
only the radio man's soothsay

my ears hear their voices now
as they chant their story
foreign languages to the dead men
but still we nod our recognition

of just the hollow in their sounds

It's fall...

they gather.

You brought home, home again.



Thank you.

The vision of their gathering opens clearly with your words...What a stunning vision it must be...As I sit here talking to the bluejays as they come and sit on my desk I am touched by the way your words come to life...Amazing...*big hugs*

Humble thanks to you for your eyes...and a lesson learned today...don't walk under them looking up...seems their timing is accidental (grin)
