I’ve fondled these half bricks In tender cradle of hand that would rock In a swing and throw of something hard Against the glass windows I look through And into the mass of wires Tangled sweet sweating wires Connecting it all to ground Where I fell into fire as a burn ends of the day into night Or warms the scant hair between your legs In a flicker of tongue My flame you know by name And have tasted it inside the walls you hold dear As some singed star this cry a rise of smoke along the sides of you only dissipates On the breeze come spring Or the next snow That leaves the dangling particles of glass Covered at last Oh go ahead Look in my eyes and dance against the hell inside That splayed you onto stone just to have One ride inside Or look around… And see how the ruins have written their own runes Into the scraps of bone Broken from brittle bands of rib But don’t get between the bricks And the arc they scribe on the empty arch of sky To late you’d find the price of me Is the way words die And I… Return the requiem of robins to the branch So they can sing over the pyre of leather No longer bound by wires I find anise in the silence of my tongue And the bricks I horded so long Nothing but the ashes of Your sigh as dark says... scribble notes... many thanks to all of you for your kindness over the last year..and the indulgence in my scribblings here.... I'll be scarce again now for some while... and wanted to make sure you were all properly wished a Happy new Year.... my hope is.. that as it dawns on us all, we find the seeds of peace in our lives and in our hearts... grow with love to fill us all... |

As some singed star this cry a rise of smoke along the sides of you only dissipates On the breeze come spring Or the next snow That leaves the dangling particles of glass Covered at last Oh go ahead Look in my eyes and dance against the hell inside That splayed you onto stone just to have One ride inside Or look around… And see how the ruins have written their own runes Into the scraps of bone Broken from brittle bands of rib But don’t get between the bricks And the arc they scribe on the empty arch of sky To late you’d find the price of me Is the way words die ================================== brilliant lines like those above make me forgive you for not writing about the river... LOL J/K  And the arc they scribe on the empty arch of sky yeppers...brilliant..... Happy New Year groovy guy... tell them werk monsters and the sharks to remember there IS a poetry union...and they demand muse breaks...if not...a union moth represenative will have to come up there. |

I'm certain that I've replied/commented on your last couple posts...and yet, there is zero evidence. So, I'll just say that it has been a pleasure reading you. Your slant on "things" always seems strangely familiar to me. And yes, learning a bit on how to express it. Better days, m'friend! Please feel free to write. Ed |

"Nothing but the ashes of Your sigh" I loved it all but these lines just brought it all together. Definitely wish I'd written this! Please don't be quiet for too long... Always, Alyssa He was a man of sorrows |
