Lip to lip The gnarled twist a watch The sound of birds in dumpsters A switch from etiquette of nature pure Cement benches cold within the warm I topple like some ancient messenger Upon the grass where I would lay me down A blanket and a basket of prefer All caught up and lost in up and down The path the map the looking to be found I see how intricate the fixing of time So sudden without notice It is wasted wanting only to be rhymed Catch me now oh cloud Your lip is full I see you watching me over the top The ridge is hung with your humidity And I am now a drop Lip to lip I drink the feathered feel Of wishes held in solitary quill Now like you I explode with heat and curl And lean against the curve That makes me real |

Come to where only some of the land is flat and where the other parts swell... and the sounds you need are on the wind... |

Martie - a song's melody you write. One day I'll sing you a song of a lullaby... BC |

Catch me now oh cloud Your lip is full I see you watching me over the top The ridge is hung with your humidity And I am now a drop Lip to lip I drink the feathered feel Of wishes held in solitary quill Now like you I explode with heat and curl And lean against the curve That makes me real Marvelous writing, dear lady.  Hugs  Ethel |

Lip to lip I drink the feathered feel Of wishes held in solitary quill Martie you truly are the "i" in imagination and imagery. A beautiful piece of writing. |

I love this. The way you take the inward life of Martie, say it in its own language, and yet make us feel and even see it....just beautiful. Lip to lip I drink the feathered feel Of wishes held in solitary quill Now like you I explode with heat and curl And lean against the curve That makes me real No reason, nothing to expostulate, except that I just felt like quoting the most delicious lines..... ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸ ¸¸ºº> ~~~(¸¸ER¸¸ºº> |
