stars
biting
in those
spearmint sparks
gloss across
in grimaced sky
an ache of tooth
of milky way
and misspent youth
of questions why
eternal age
the tingling
electric dry
the wind in sing
the echo of
the voice that cries
the testing of
myself untried
unpatterned
synchronicity
tattered
electricity
dots connecting
without line
grapes in rot
upon the vine
a dusting of
a thing not mine
a sprinkling
of
me denied.
oh-yes-because...
a memory
of all I was...
in kiss of sky.

Grandeur
as toes cleft
a cliff
and wave of arms
bespeak a riff
of bass
and rhythm
on the stage...
a grandeur's
tottering
of rage
barely
holding
on to ledge...
white fingers
understand
an edge...

white fingers
purpling
in strain...
white fingers
lavendered
estrange...

barely holding on...

Yep. You are a goddess poet. How's it feel?

Signed, a mortal.

She said burn ... together.

Keep thy grip of thy feel
for within thy words surreal
Letting not thy fingers go
with these words soft in flow

Love the flow and the words...well done..!!
