The greener grass of somewhere else squiggles like a misplaced worm in the recess of imaginings back lighted with desire. A ledge of polished wood glistens in the light of change and pulls my gaze unwaveringly into reflective ponderings as fingers carefully search for the crack and scratch beneath the surface of a wish. Three walls, back and sides, painted palest creamy beige static and unmoved by indecisive moods remain solid in endurance of scrawled and bold graffiti on the perimeter of need. But earth vibrates in fitful sleep and passively the plaster of a once wholesome dream splits and fractures from the core of soul while masked figurines left over from the past stare on unemotionally into agendas of their own. And a woman in the middle needing air to breathe opens doors and windows but no through draught or hint of breeze wafts in with a decision! |

Helen But earth vibrates in fitful sleep and passively the plaster of a once wholesome dream splits and fractures from the core of soul while masked figurines left over from the past stare on unemotionally into agendas of their own. Always you write such truth into your poetry from your life.  |

Three walls, back and sides, painted palest creamy beige static and unmoved by indecisive moods remain solid in endurance of scrawled and bold graffiti on the perimeter of need. I am wavering tonight in some God awful place I do not like being. Sometimes the need is so empty, I could scream. I do love your work, and every single word, Helen dear~ |

Thank you, Martie dear. Do we wait for a sign for change or do we make our own signs? Oh, Bluesy gal, I do so understand but, you know, we spring back eventually - yes, we're springs extending and shrinking until we fit comfortably either with ourselves or with one worthy of our love ... and I say "worthy" because it is the greatest gift anyone can give. If it is rejected, I'm positive that in the long run we aren't the losers. Take care of "you"! |

And a woman in the middle needing air to breathe opens doors and windows but no through draught or hint of breeze wafts in with a decision! Yes, that's me in one verse complete!! ~smiling~ M |
