black
she is the darkest night
when the stars
all wink subside
ebony and mysteries
and milky galaxies of tides
into the pupil of his eye
black and growing
capturing
here
I am
a grappling
hook
I am
inside his thigh -
dying retribute.

brown
he is an eye of deer
amber and a backlit grave
honeydew and "I love you"
and the spray of earth
engraved
like the outer edges of
the inside of his cry
(am I)
denying
retribute?

I am green and spying pale
yellow
as the dots of ale
rise to top to set the tone
foaming me hysterically
popping bubbles
of alone
giggles here inside the why,
scrying
retribute...

* * *


You
are red
a dead-eye knot
as I lean to you and I --
you are mixed
with hue (as me)
and I am just
re-flec-ting
here inside my inhale sigh
prying retribute

I lied...

begging for the truth.

Well now, that darn near brought a tear, and that as you know is very hard to accomplish with me.  That ... is a prelude to a book, yes?  Awesome dudette.

I find your work intriguing, layered - fascinating -

I think Descartes said it best:
"Dude, you freakin rock!!"

wait, maybe that wasn't Descartes but Derek, the sweaty kid with the Metallica shirt in my last year of photography

well, it still applies

Thanks all. Although I was aiming for a goal I didn't quite hit to my satisfaction, I do appreciate the time you all took to reply.

Let me think on this one awhile and perhaps I can re work it to my own satisfaction.

grin...shaking my head at me.

Never could satisfy myself.



Thanks again.
