I could feel myself like a band of soldiers walking through the trenches, staring into crickets of the night, the silent ears of my path Wondering to myself, where does it end? How do I find her amongst the woods amongst the scandalous wolves, where do I search? I stand on the fall of my thoughts, thinking of what to do, how can I find a woman that is so intricately true, I could write the words of her mouth onto my blue tennis shoes. I want to know how this works, how can I find the one that sneezes and innocence become a virtue. I want her to sneeze, just so I can feel something, something other than this, a branch at the top of the tallest tree, I want to wake with her, to wake and tease, feel the gentle pockets of her skin onto mine, onto my heart, just so I can feel myself again. |

There are several standout lines and images here: staring into the crickets' song, being the tallest tree branch (alone at the top), searching for a beloved among the "wolves", etc. Also, it is true that a sneeze can sometimes denote the beginnings of sexual arousal: I want to know how this works, how can I find the one that sneezes and innocence become a virtue. A very forthright stanza! |

Thanks, easy. Sometimes being atop the loneliest branch has a certain charm to it. Take care Tomer |
