I cleaned the fridge today (it had been ages!!) and the family cheered !! the cows came home and called the eggmen three, some chicks had hatched in their duration, i hiked up my skirt today, and exchanged torrid glances with trucker joe, riding bareback, as he stuffed me whole, between his matching pockets, i lost at love today, and let it print incisions, like rings around the sacrificial tree, as dreams shred clean along its feet, cemented, i wrote a poem today, as leaves fell down abundantly, filling in my neverending pieces, sylvia inhaled; on a chilly dawn of '63, the ache of her inflections, and sighed its demons upon release, i pray she heard her heart sing free, as it played its lullaby beneath her. **for syliva* **for dreambuilder for reminding** [This message has been edited by inkedgoddess (11-28-2004 07:38 AM).] |

You weave such interesting and vivid pieces together, and end up making perfect candy. TD |

Hey inked, I absolutely love this and what you're producing lately, you've really got me in a spin with your lush imagery and unique phrasing. though I felt the repetition of "i" in each stanza a little jumpy but in all I loved it and I want more. I'm keeping it Mxx into this night i wonder, it's morning that i dread, another day of knowing of, the path i fear to tread. |

Excellent...Sylvia would have loved this, as well as Anne would have... And I say only with my arms stretched out into that stone place, "what is your death but an old belonging, a mole that fell out of one of your poems?

Well written - now, will you clean my frige? I'm afraid it will reach and and pull me in should I try - Susan Happiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you. Joy is a state of mind. |

Michele, as soon as I saw the title, I knew he had something to do with this, which is a good thing. Of course she heard, she is alive within your words. |
