that gravy canyon in slow simmering swirl
a bubble of dawn belches from its echos
then subsides back into fog belly seclusion

I rattle my metal sword against redwoods
that have guarded oblivian longer than god
but his memory is substitution mostly now

as candle diamonds are wax sky residue
pock marked indentions intentially acned
so old shoe lovers can feel their blindness

when they walk at night holding finger bones
in the grasp of anothers sentimental sediment
concluding those reclusive pages of love songs

they spread on rails as penny shaped momentos

Well Sir.. I could hear and see it...
and feel between the images the way it would attach itself to your memories and mind..

loved the images, the word play and the style...

DS...Something about those redwood trees and the way the light streams in, can take you to places you've never even been.  Enjoyed this!

Makes me shiver under the sharp perception of melancholy piercing the skin ...

Awesome imagery, your mind and psyche have "giant eyes" that see and sense more than what can be touched.

Love,
