Lavender by the bed and in my head the undulating fears scale white cliff face to somewhere that scent has no calm. She is no drug and so I wonder why I can't move death-still the nausea of floating visions about mind that boasts weightlessness even though you're on it rocking the boat. Lavender? How far can you move in a year without miles this anniversary makes me sink in an easy second and exile This inhale~exhale of a year a motionless tangle woven with shifting imaginations thinking I saw you clung to the underside of a ship breath still lingers exactly there and then. Adrift I wonder with my eyes closed if you can only float so far without trying when I was sure I'd done all I could. |

"She is no drug and so I wonder why I can't move death-still the nausea of floating visions about mind that boasts weightlessness even though you're on it rocking the boat." Give ya 50 bucks and a pack of Marlboro's for that verse...  Impressive as always Gem... |

This is a WOWSER poem Gem, the imagery is just fab. It's so good to read you. Maree  The clouds never expect it when it rains, but the sea, changes colour, but the sea, does not change. |
