Sun and moon face each other Before the hearth Where Vikings live long secrets Our own true names become strange aliens I sample the stew Feeling as if I had suddenly grown larger, inside… Buried in a small church yard Knitting myself to the ground…absorbed in watching the process The order of survival Sometime, a man must own a weapon If, only verbal Adding polishing-stone powder Where no weather is to fierce Trying to remember the broadest part of my sword Curling around, just below the handle grip I wondered if personal performance ever glanced at me The way one looks at an old friend I am a remnant of versions, a very “small” story Guaranteed from generations~ Is that not our purpose? Or one of them? Reading injustice makes me a suspect Hacking at me like a butcher I must live and teach by example So that the eyebrows of life rises To a place of balance If I loose my legs I still possess the nap of surprise And Sunday mornings Handed to me across two summers By a man of religious intensity Where a metal smith gives shape and beauty It is clearly great soups simmering in immense kettles Music drifts into the hills Into the otherworld…middle earth Palms flat with the ground beneath them Drawing men and women With certain beautiful sounds |

This is very ethereal and hypnotic. Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind. Unknown |

It's easy to stand with you as you writing this and sense a million words escalating with every stroke of your pen. It is an awesome write. Thank you. |

Lee, I could see the whole thing in my minds eye from your painting of words. Very good writing, sweet lady.  Hugs  Ethel |
