I wrote this using the name "Cirrus" back in open 20.

Desidero

Beside myself
I snub away my wanting
it pleads yes then no then yes again
like a plundering wave
                         palindromos

only the mirror-glass has meaning here
and I wait for silvered answers
                     off reflected sea
but the sea
          the sea is turbulant
it unfolds and releases
yes then no then yes again

I’m unable to grasp
its inattentive pull
its sandy institution
that one infinitesimal existence
which lies loose eastward crying
yes then no then yes again

and at the end of this land
in the wailing of gulls
in the fresh-smell of pacific
I swallow sky.

fate is not just
whose cooking smells good
but which way the wind blows

(Ani DiFranco)

Oh good gosh, thank you for the repost. I love the thought of palindrome in this...it's perfect for the mood and swing...

I would also like to see this in CA...just to see what the experts think.

Maree, has anyone told you, you are brilliant!

Maree Angeldark,

It should be manditory that you post this in every "Open" forum.

This is stellar!
