Gardens

in no re
creation of time
nor space
his garden
did not resemble
Eden,
nor anything spiritual

other than lack
of it
in religious sense

for all things
androgynous and
homogenous
came to the fore

at least

the editor said so

in touching the cover I
wondered if
you yet had this

supposed last book

started

not finished by his
hands

he had grown tired, tired of it
so I uprooted it
transplanted it

from here

to there

in your hands
it will be enjoyed,

regardless of critics.

Although we may grow tired and weary ... looking upon our thoughts as so much hum drum ... there are always others to ponder our thoughts ... to confide in them ... to improve them
Nicely done

I would agree.. nicely done... reminds me that though we grow weary of some things..they may remain a treasure in the eye or hand of the right person...

"Regard all art critics as useless and dangerous" futurists manifesto.

I am sure I read this right, Decaflame
, you can probably guess by the above quote what my interpretation of the poem is. This is definitely one for the library. I loved the flow and structure.

"Like Sand underneath the snow, I make you mine." Kristin Hersh
