I hear the whirlwind with wings
it has ear rings with
metal things
that are cricketing
knees on blackboard nails

I shook the sand from see thru
now my pocket windows have no hands
and I search the glass of your eyes
for life to be their moisture
making vapor for me on your insides

the hounds howl with echo mouths
they speak to the spirit trees
about the broken catcher of dreams
hanging from the moon tombs
under a teepee funneling sky

I read another lover's bible
the print smelled like your perfume
with old water and tears
but my fingers found the words
and fed them to my mouth speak

did you hurry foot to my whispering

Oy, D - this one is very esoteric and I would like to crawl into your mind to read the thoughts behind the words - I have images and ideas, but wonder too - do I have the right language skills for interpretation?

Hmmmmmmmm- must go now and meditate - to ponder and seek the answers from the cosmos-

Hugs you -  Susan

Happiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you.  Joy is a state of mind.

Poetry is emotion put into measure.
The emotion comes by nature ...
but the measure is acquired by art.

Read this one a couple days ago but didn't have alot of time to reply.  This one speaks volumes in many levels and it brings to me a reasoning of life.  One where the earth walks become the medicines of our soul based on how we live out our aspirations, dreams, and focal points and share our personalities with those around us.  Excellent write sir and one definitely worth the reread and bump to the top.
