Come, February Why do I have to wait for you wearing your cold plate of sky I can drain down in this sun warm chill-off in memories closet anytime No not sky a cloud Listen to the edge aware of thin lines then fall Feel the way the skin turns like opening oranges bitter bitter the sweet Down down into the sweet juice of grief is a place pure and remorseless Yes, I can find you any time |

Martie, What I am seeing is the option. The choice to dwell on the unpleasant, or embrace the positive. My money is on you. Doc |

It's difficult to even imagine someone elses grief, but your words always draw me into it, somehow, just as all of your poetry does. Your unique style is almost transparent and yet at the same time vivid and clear, the feelings that come from your unusual perspective and wonderful phrases. I love every thing that you write Liz |

When it comes our time for grief How we hope to find a theif who will take this private fief And deliver to a far off reef. Beautifully written. KJ Through rubble and trouble and dark of night |

Oh, Martie - I haven't been here for so long, and here is this tender, lovely poem of heartache. What a poet you are, my friend! I love your juxtaposition of bitter and sweet, using an orange to illustrate! Perfect! |
