Leather leaves are torn,
dangled in blue silver
and dispersed upon the palms of infant hands,
blush pink against the sky.
The hearts of mourning are taking cover
under the rib cage of mother sorrow.

Breathing tomorrow anywhere.
I have three buttons
and two strands of string,
wondering if I make a necklace fancy
or weave them brightly, I do not know.
The grains, the grains, the grains.

Kindly,
Redheart Angrybraids

This is one of the most exquisite, finely crafted poems I've read in a long, long time. It is simply stunning in every way, form, substance and imagery. You, my dear, should be very, very proud of this. I mean it. I read a lot of poetry and I believe I know when I come across uniqueness. This has that in abundance! I don't see many posts from you and I think that is because the ones you present us with are born with great care. I plan on savoring each and every one I have the privilege of reading!

Miss Angrybraids....
I might miss the complete meaning of this poem, but the images and your choice of words is fantastic. I always look forward to reading you.

when I read your work, it's like I'm being told a secret of the universe. . . one that I have to figure out for myself. . . and that's half the fun. . .

superb. . .

=====================================

absolutely amazing imagery and poetic intend.
you have such a gift for writing unique and innovative images and impressions.
your vision paints us a lovely view.

This distance has shown how the road remains alone
Now I'm looking in my life ... for a truth that is my own.
