Tonight I am held within the measured arc of this old weathered rocker... this rocker that once knew your mending. The quarter moon is caught in the walnut tree, and I am marking time, moving only with the heavy breathing of the mountain, intent on wind to clear the mist below. An owl laments in shrill echo through the cove. My fingers, knuckle white, clutch these worn splintered arms, as back and forth I sway in eerie silence, still locked within your rhythms... Rhythms I cannot bend from mine. |

Franni, This poet has been in hiding, and now appears with exquisite verse, which has me wondering why I didn't know of her talent. But now I do and look forward to more postings. Franni, you are amazing Liz |
