I trace the bend of bone in fingers and know,
that tucking the ends of myself won’t soothe,
only stroke and shape instead. - No.
Twisting and curling will never rub out the nausea enough to settle.
And if I could translate the curve in text
you'd feel the attempts in truth.
Flesh formed, turning, and the fear and thrill attached.
Yes, the liquid running clings to examination -
bright lights and squinting for the view.
Of you. Me. I know.
Tissue taped to corners is pressed to stay,
the bend of bone in fingers in my way.
Somehow I'm held here, vein, like thread, in knots.
Watching the coaxing of growth in skin
and sipping sadness in swallows of youth.
My truth. Right here. Again.

(sigh) So sad but beautiful, sweet friend, I too feel kind of nauseus when I think about living now in the present and facing the truth, which is not where I want to be when I want to go on and follow my destiny and with the spirit of youth like a jacket I wear! (kiss on cheek) Sooooo powerfully expressed, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Spitfire, thank you for sharing!

May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,

Spitfire,
your bend of bone near broke my heart. *HuGS*

Hi, this is as always, so thoughtful, and makes me wonder if I have the message quite right. I think you are having some anxiety which will go away, I see good things coming for you.

Seeing things thru your wise eyes grants us the vision to see deeper into ones soul and to witness the layers and complexities of the workings of a poets mind.
You see beyond, and are light years ahead of the years you wear in your perception.
Must be some view from that porch.

So good to read you Lady A.

Love the fire in your writing.
You never fail to get down to the nitty gritty and take it a step beyond.

Bravo I say!!!!!!
