There’s an ageless angel pouring water into a simple Spanish bowl She is a he, or he is a she, quite “elegently” The water trickles silver mindless pure reminding me how everything isn’t what it seems the extraordinary lies somewhere just outside my peripheral vision It’s no wonder my stream of consciousness is a continuum of language rolling off rocks sounding as drunken tongues then all at once, things make sense my extrasensory perception kicks in and I decide that this yen yang thang just yanks my chain and zen makes me sick not in a bodily way, just the mindset of it all How things crawl back in the recesses when people shout out “Angels ain’t male or female, you idiot.” And I think to myself how anthropomorphic we are How Gods might seem to see me with eyes and hear me with ears and wisely speak to me through lips that move through the clouds or maybe I’m just a speck of literal wise cracks within the aspect of the supernatural No matter what rattles around in my head androgenous as it all seems I’m strictly human and as I see it, that angel at a right angle looks male from the left, female Perhaps it is the workings of something much grander than I but the Spanish bowl was made in Japan |

Regina! It is so good to see you! I've missed your vision and your special way of saying things that are true.  |

Have I missed you! Lost your email lady, how's the yard? The last two lines sum it all up if you ask me. Who knows if there are angels, you might have spoken to one today and not even known it? Or maybe the Spanish bowl that says Made In China was imported from Japan? What is real is all in the mind, and lady yours is darn real! She's back - she's back - she's back - she's back (that was me doing a really kewl rap dance for ya!) |

Thought-provoking and evocative poem. It is simply incredibly well-penned. It flows so smoothly, and forces me to hang on every word. You are a gifted writer. I will have to keep my eye out for your posts. I am simply amazed. This is really an incredible piece of writing. It should be printed for God's sake. I will be looking to more from you. Warm regards, Kevin [This message has been edited by Kevo (06-17-2004 07:34 AM).] |

Your writing is as sharp and on target as ever was, Reg... and I saw this Angel...I know I did, when I walked the streets of Merida... this brought a lot forward, quickly, as I read it through the first time, but I'm librarying it, because I know I will get more and more from it down the road... so good to have you home again. |

What a lovely write.  It is wonderful to read your angelic musings and ponderings!  Welcome home hugs, EA PS You look like an angel yourself ~ so it appears to me that angels may not be anthropogmorphic afterall! |

I don't believe I've had the pleasure of reading you before! This was simply remarkable, and is one of the few types of poems I encounter that seem to stir my muse in such a way. Please, post more! I look forward to seeing more in the future If I were to touch you, would you bleed a velvet river, running miracles through the sodden ground? --Moi |

Salutations and fanfares to you, my Lady! I thought you were lost at sea it's been so long! A very welcome surprise to read and see you again -- I hope we synchronize again soon as life keeps us all busier than we would like... -MVS You CAN make a difference, but first you should learn how: http://educate-yourself.org/intro.shtml [This message has been edited by MARK V SHELDON (06-18-2004 10:02 AM).] |
