Road blocks rise up in your mind
I'm bricked from brink, nary a crime.
Feel you out there, but not with me
that face turned wane, I cannot see..

I give smokey greens- in question here,
stroke edges- rough, pilfer fear-tears.
Silence only harms we two-
(a knife in echoes, sharp-slice construed)
Made of me, and made of you.

This double blade cries! starving now
blood once tasted, addicts my prowl.
Cremate your doubt, don't swallow stew
Spit it out...(the pit of skeptic bloom.)

Hold my hands, be solaced instead
greens won't give up- purging misled.
Heart, sore-beating, I cut the tag,
To warrant nothing, from your mind.
Need the verbal from your lips-
Can't sit on hands and suck the grit.

Won't you speak? (if only whispered sounds)
Pull my hand? Lay me down?
This crown is heavy; take it back-
Won't be your burden, on attack.

Your astral doors, stay bolted tight,
hard as hell, to fend my pry.
When tempratures are dead to freeze
(in there)
I shake my fist to stingy air,
Inhale my pride, a purloined fare.

Steel myself for walk-away..
(a pause at door- so silent)
Awaiting un-whispered..."stay?"

I will be reading from afar for awhile.

And I cannot, cannot go.."

What a cutting piece of writing, Tanya, you took it to the Absolute edge and then Jesus, doubled back on it . . . . Okay

That sounds a distant read . . .

How is the mind, the brain included to be completely quiet? Some say breathe properly, take deep breaths, that is, get more oxygen into your blood; a shoddy little mind breathing very deeply, day after day, can be fairly quiet; but it is still a shoddy little mind
