Stick Fish Stepping stones earth chipped smooth moss moved A stick fish dream scales Contradictions dot the ridge where a white cross man made stands beside the yucca The smell of sage and dark water the sound of warm gathering on the rock next to the empty pack of Marlboro and a child’s plastic shoe just one Sun has drowned through the crease of earth following the curve to the cement city and the sea This and you are my wilderness [This message has been edited by Martie (02-22-2002 10:50 AM).] |

Now this is nice... The only fishing I've seen around here lately is Ice Fishing and I don't think they are in love with anything more than the fish. You know what I mean Sis..? dale |

I don't know what a stick fish is, but I like the imagery and emotion here. Very good. |

Explanation A stick fish is something that you feel heavy on your line as you reel in ...yet it doesn't have the tug of a real fish, you think, pehaps, just perhaps, it is a real fish...and what you pull out is just a stick. I have caught some of the biggest! |

I want to know where this is and when and how... "you are my wilderness" ... god, now I wait for the day I find someone to fill these lines. Struck me like a stone... and I'm still a little numb. I'd like to write you about this... think I will, much to discuss and explore... thanks for this Martie, a little dark creeping into a magic-muse world... |
