So tell me how it is done, when the soul's onslaught becomes a ballad of motion, an ocean floodlit and eloquent red muscles darken like wounds over a wet landscape of thorns worn as a seamless garment of pain in echoes of a freckled heart, indecisive, upon the immediacy at the threshold of deliverance, tell me how to rise with the rhythms, seize them for my own, as the bloody shell of dreams harden and my bones seem to show through the images of limbs twisted inside the folds of skin, open on what at your word would close and catch on the purities of its fiction, tell me how darkness becomes utter dream and somehow leave me intact, tell me how to hold the waking body still in one terrible motion unstrung to the silence of hands like the ones you've taught the heart to govern, tell me that they shall not at last by more urgent hands become undone, eclipsed by the onslaught of the soul rising in one bloody motion, an ocean floodlit and eloquent, so tell me how it's done.

it's done with time and with strength.. enough to let go and still hold on to those parts of yourself..that are too precious to let go... very nicely painted... such questions always come out in umber tones for me... you add some specks of color here..I'd otherwise not see |

I hope you're not asking me. I've been following YOU around trying to figure out how it's done myself.  I'll quit stalking you lady poet. But know that I read all you post and find your work refreshing and immensely satisfying. satisfying, hrmmph, until I try to write my own, that is. *more roses tossed* |

Gotta love Karen's honesty - do you feel stalked yet - can't help it. You lay before us a buffet fit for royaly of the finest, and once again I came to eat like a pig! Damn that was good! By the way you could tell me how it was done until sundown, and I still couldn't ever see the world as you do. Absolutely incredible is your work.. |
