Grace My Alphabet I’ve been waiting across this long day as the keys glare their silent letters waiting for delicate blue eggs with thin transparent shells to open some tender thought I can hear this ticking slowly savoring time drain and have simmering fragrance around me for reminiscence The bullion bubbles cascading with memory but this draught still seethes with hungering So I press an asterisk and see how an eight is so conclusive and perfect circling into itself and I think that time must be like that with no beginning to teach it how to end a bubble has exploded somewhere so quiet and absolute from child-touched treasure to a perfectly undone rainbow Where does this matter display its intent and grace my alphabet with a period? ____ 4-00 |

Even when graced with a question mark, your alphabet, arranged thus, leaves me in open mouthed surprise, much like a fish wondering, how DID this hook get here? This, my dear, is a Keeper... |
