brutal, the Cheshire wind brings a fierce paralysis tonight,
the odors of licorice swell the same way blood possesses the pitch
of vein, blue swathes of gypsum fill the poplars on the esplanade, prayers
fall in the cadence of rain, and the Cheshire's blue flanks flash in the welling panes of glass,
as she passes, faster than the leapng blue flames burning in an alley
for a kiss, few cherish
as her lips, feral dip into the nether jaws, pierce your tongue
brings blood to the mouth as the vanilla moon swoons a depth, more true
than lunacy, spills the wind's fever is heard to warn the mighty dead geese to gather up their bones in the flesh, screaming,
a Cheshire grin brings its reprimand in prisms, blue
over the slaughtered lilies a slight swell of breasts, stir the tremors of the body's lowest chords,
release its brutal charms in the pavilions of cacti and mirrors gleam a desert mosiac shatters
over the fierce paralysis of night, the Cheshire grins smooth along the lips
soft as lips against lips, come the crisis of swallows, in the cellular elegance of my blood, sore with sap, swells
on the tongue, these prisms whir and brim over some bruised fraction of our eternity.

putting up with you???
are you kidding?
*chuckle*
Now how do you suppose I know how it is to look at the world through a cube of ice?(This is new orleans, so it wasn't by gazing out my igloo.)
Yep. I looked damned strange sitting at the bar doing that.
Smooth, I am.
hugs

Fascinating read - filled with undercurrents - the picture at the end gave me the chills - oy,

Ahah, getting that whip your face kind of wind there again right? I can remember being whipped down 5th against my will, and when she finally stopped, my eyelashes were frozen together on one eye, and I couldn't open it. I was in panic,
WOWZERS what images! Of course now that I have all your books of poetry from Amazon I actually am starting to understand you a bit more.
I loved the bed of liles - could see the death there.
By the way, don't tell anyone but I worked hard at becoming a Cheshire Cat, and can indeed be here one second, and gone the next! I love his control I guess.
My favorite line from my favorite book of all time became. "Well I've often seen a cat without a grin, but a grin without a cat! It's the most curious thing I have seen in my whole life!" Let there be peace on earth ~ and let it begin with me
