hands over ears

a swirl of silken lace
white cliffs rock at midnight gleaming
flailing hair dispelling truth
silently awash in salty brine


hands over eyes

the warring nations scarred for glory
hunger for her forceful kiss
drunk in her unseen beauty
ravaged by her promised peace


hands over mouth

cries of infant celestial bodies
quiet now in sleep will see
mighty pulsars frantic winking
a cataclysmic climax sets them free

hands of us all


She told me "play one for your supper Danny and maybe you'll get breakfast".

Liked the "hands of us all," as if that will ever happen. Still . . . Miracles do sometimes happen, I know that for a fact, 'cause it's a miracle I haven't bit the dust already!
