June 10th, 2002

In the under-dog world
Of under ground summersaults,
And dogwood lily trees
The stream flows, and let’s low
her shaking legs, and bloody
Flow.

She gets high in the wild in the middle of the night.
She handles womb thorns and
Graciously stumbles across
The isles. She studies in a book
With no lines.

Kindly,
Redheart Angrybraids

well hello my morning smile.

It's wonderful to see you again, Amelia.

and wonderful is the right word, for once again I'm in a state of wonder after reading you. Something's different here--you are more linear in thought and all polished pretty, but you still have the zen quality, but now it's as though you have explained the "koan."

You keep growing, my dear friend. I'll keep watching you amazed.

Well, this is one to read more than once, and only in part because I love dogwoods.

Happy Hawaiian Holidays to you and what a treat to read your words (which I can always take a multitude of ways.)  Saw this also in 3 different lights, and probably not at all what you were saying, but to me that is what intrigues me about you - it is "thinker's poetry."

                    
Let there be peace on earth,
