In Secret Speaks Meandering on trails far into the silent woods Thinking there a part of me that culture hoods Packed light, essentially marshmallows and matches Binocular accessories, a journal tucked inside the patches A brush, and face paint should the sun faint I might help to make up time Not afraid to stroll alone, safer in the forest roam Spies have yellow eyes, and warning songs Packed silver in the moonlight howl Washing paw prints on a brook side towel And I am empty of my fear, left it here I might have to share, a rib to spare What’s the sense astride the fence? I offer nothing tasty just dessert to swallow hasty Packs in starlight tramp, around my camp The language that contains the last remains Of souls that skirt the floor and lone what’s more To sit across the firelight, recanting crept upon the night I think I might…lean over and just take a bite But then again to give seems somehow better Scarlet cape beneath the nape a hopeless tether Packed light, slung platitudes that disregard Wandering the feeble yard of in between The lesson sight unseen is that the silence Has a meaning sometimes in a cunning violence I think, in terms that stretch back all humanity Should the frostbite of calamity consume me I become Omega in redemption of all sovereignty Copyright Kkh 1/3/04 |

And Alpha stands the woodside hill in prance of male in wander still In wait of she the forest floor his want of her forever more. For as the trees do sigh softly and in the boughs most loftily A bird shall sing a warbled trill as Alpha stands the woodside hill. Good Morning Kathleen, beautiful write on a Saturday....
