the boomers said the sticks were women and you always wanted to hug em right or they would splinter your manskin I was a boy when I became a man each time, but not that often then climbing trees seemed the natural thing but then I found the ground was hard and snakeskins across the wrists when the desert drew the ravens was a good reason to become a man again with some body softer to land on that didn't mind the rough side of my hands when my money said she was always pretty _______________ daark translation..the boomers were contract linemen that constructed power and communications lines almost everywhere there was a need...many were green and ended up broken from falls and fights and the unsaid plague that some houses of pleasure gave away free with the fee for a good time..I was lucky or they called me that anyway..the sticks were the poles up to 90' tall...snakeskins are just that..some times the birds of prey woulld pick up rattlers etc and drap them over the lines to eat them..as a lineman was climbing the pole sometimes the snakeskins would fall across the arms ..I always let go close to the ground.. |

I like the sounds and images you've created; rough and dangerous and leathery. |

was a good reason to become a man again with some body softer to land on that didn't mind the rough side of my hands when my money said she was always pretty The scene you set is stark and edged with sadness... so well drawn it makes me shiver. Excellent write! |

An unusual stage for a tough story. This is so very vivid, dear D., I am impressed. You transmitted electricity then and now you transmit emotions ... so well! You have got a very special electrical "charge", so that's why you are so magnetic, you see. Great work. Love, Margherita  |

I apologize if I am being too bold, but why are you not published? And if you are, where can you be found? Excellent as always, my friend. ~Maranda |

Okay tonight I am a Daark groupie and this poem fascinates me. I love reading your words and seeing with my mind and then reading your explanations and seeing it all again. Know what I mean? I dunno about snake skins. I have never lived anywhere that there are snakes. And people think bears and moose are scarey! I am liking this one and am on to the next. It's like eating chocolate. It's best when I lick my fingers. A |
