The Sound of Honey Pouring Curtains, she said, meaning the end of something, not innocence, no, but something like it, buoyant, floating really above the dusty road. How was she to find the tree anyway, with dusk half done, in flip-flops and red painted toenails? It wasn’t easy to have a mission. This stirring wasn’t even caused by love. Love at least would have pulled her out, out of the tyranny of self-boredom. Or was it love? The child told her the magic, and there was something about her eyes that held branches, like corpses mourned, and she had to touch the ancient oak that had become so much more. Hah, she thought, I am endangered in the drift of some colored cloth, a parachute, wind tossed into something bigger and it floats but is so sure of direction. Concentrate. Listen for the sound honey makes pouring, the tree makes that sound. -------- http://www.scope.org/scope/pico-oak/ http://www.la.indymedia.org/news/2002/11/22059.php [This message has been edited by Martie (12-12-2002 10:04 PM).] |

Martie, I love the poem and that tree... Oh, it's beautiful. The first thing I thought when I saw the picture of that tree, was about how my little friends and I used to climb trees when I was growing up.  "Love makes the world go around" |

You cannot even begin [well, YOU could...] to know where this took me, and the smells that came rushing in... Look again into the story, Martie...I see you writing another one from it.... |
