the road down to malibu is a snake with no skin black flesh soft in the sun fitting the valley grooves like a garden hose of old rubber men of leather leave sounds there from their iron horses that gallop thunder and flicker glint eyed shimmer in afternoon sun in evening coyotes tiptoe the cliffs hiding from the loud gods that leave scraps of blood and bread in recycle buffets behind jaguar bumpers that call their women names the leathermen bring their thunder the loud gods grow quiet they leave their steaks on plastic alters in back yards to protect second hand virginity coyotes feast like kings and howl their thanks to men of leather ©Dark (by request travel series) |

If no one knew the way to Malibu before, you've set the scene very well...that is exactly how the road looks from the air... and of course the rest of the poem is a wow...and a good... |

DS Many nights, after the normalcy of day, the coyote's cry turns the alley trash into a hunting ground. Enjoyed your view of Malibu. |

I have been to Malibu and it is exactly like this. You have a wonderful way of expressing even the most mundane scenes. You are truly a wordmaster in every sense. Patience is the ability to idle your motor, when you feel like stripping your gears. Author Unknown |

the road down to malibu is a snake with no skin black flesh soft in the sun fitting the valley grooves like a garden hose of old rubber When I read this magnificent description, I knew I'd found a keeper... and the rest of the verses didn't disappoint. *S* I enjoyed this very much. |

I hear that if you hold your breath going through the tunnels you might just get your wish. I believe there is some truth to that, considering the outcome. You sure know how to weave your words DS~ Good you are. |
