When in moments stolen from fairytale dream, we hold our tongues and give some significance to the sound that only waits the next seizure out, under cedar boughs and such, the sway of the cradle at the vertigo height of inert teardrops. drop the stout limbs laden beyond what the arms were meant to carry, alone, the hands in exile from the heart, close in thick_black_fists_pummel into the glove of my chest, let what rises, live with what descends, each word, a cruel unbuckling of a belt, at the command that crushes all parts of speech, to a sole vowel, and begs the question in that brutal retort you thought, only you could give, again and again, when in moments stolen under a lotus moon, the shadows under cedar boughs grow long, late in the afternoon, and the odors of honeysuckle sway the laden cradle at the crisis over congruent sorrows, stand so still, as sentinels, twin to the gallows. ...from The FairyTale Journals... 2005 copyright babygirLPress **Intoxicant to the SouL** |

"each word, a cruel unbuckling of a belt," a startling and chilling visual that so aptly conveys a powerful auditory impact. Absolutely brilliant |

Interesting plays in contrast - over all a mood of forboding - but for a brief moment there, under the lotus moon, one is lost in the beauty of your words SusanEvery action generates a force that returns to us in like kind . . . let us choose compassion and love |
