I wanted to take pieces of my tired warm cocoon-- A child had taken fingernail and ripped my world too soon... O release of womb from tree-- this aches this aches as I grow feet. The thumb, the tool-- the difference this thing that lets us grasp... Watch it wither all away too tight within our clasp. I wanted to take pieces of myself and make me whole-- mosaic in a patterned grout-- and cement me--in sale of soul. all my colors in display patterns of my re-arrange... O release of ecstacy-- this aches this aches of highway need. The thumb, the fool-- of backward glimpse-- the thing that let me ride the tide-- that digit pointed all too loose and fingers curled at me and cried: "YOU--in beg of carpet ride straddled-- rode the rumble-peg-- the wind swept teardrops from your eyes-- always just a thumb in beg." Mocking me. Yes. (mocking me) always just a thumb in beg... Laughing. Yes? (too heartily) be damned the queen of rumble-peg... |

and what are you conceding? Yourself? As usual..you weave a tangled web of words for us to contemplate |

Oh ... I know why the caged bird sings ... in chant of rhymes, she'd be granted wings.    |

And when you're granted wings through verse You realize your world just could be worse. |

interesting. i like this one - you didn't just plop down the straightforward, but pointed, subtley, at another meaning.  |

Gives me pictures of a buttery in concrete (and, strangely, on a motorbike). |
