I am hand A song made from deep look tremble with tone of one finger drawn on skin across the scrape of twilight grace is caught naked in my expression I pull a ruffled demure and sweep back hair as if its sail would stop the breeze I marry with warm absorb the knowing of holding something and somatically learn what was left unsaid I speak heart tongue fragile strong give tender Capable culpable paired to task into the wielding of weight and fragile I can stop a baby’s cry and bring a love to tears I am hand my roots are blue twigs that flow the heart river and take it to the reach of further to grasp at chance and hold on tight for in the lake she thinks too big I am the magic ripple --------- 6-22-02 |

You DO speak heart tongue and you ARE the magic ripple. Everytime I read you, I strive to write better--er, after I regain my confidence!  This is stunning, Martie. I adore this, and yep, I'll gush without shame. Keeping it, please...  |

I've been told that mine talk....but I never asked 'em about it myself. Scared of tales they might tell, I guess..... All the same, I'm always happy to lend a hand.... This a nice piece, Martie -- really got me thinking....and some of the thoughts are even G-rated! ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸ ¸¸ºº> ~~~(¸¸ER¸¸ºº> |
