Fierce, the year dies over the brittle hum of the locust, in red wheat, growing, give mourning doves any sun, and they grieve their song, trembling in the syrinx of throats too slim to swallow the sob held tightly in its vehement desire to speak, the eyelids close on a wet, dark grave, just beyond the road moves its pale, gold sand through pastures of coreopsis, and so too moves, its noon and purple moons, [silly rabbit] the deaf swan swims its swamps in a damp attempt to sweat, she dries. stillborn night and drowns, [tricks are for kids...] as the cicadas' patient sound becomes endless.unrequited.waking. these moments grow dense and spread white paths of ashes over deerskin palms, blood cools to black, and pools in these fists I close to rip my own flesh down the seams, and drown these screaming mittens of blood, lined in kitten_silk deep.deep.deep as the dying year, in the cedar river of mirth, the water so cold it stings going down, straddles the ribs, and strangles the breath on lips that are the gouged blue hue of algebra, low in the fluid afternoon, the calm that could not keep its eyes from the pale flesh, on which wounds show clearly, like words on a page, burn the ink into the dark geography of dream, and let it brood, over the black field of fairytale theorums, written long hand, this the fiction of crescent limbs, bent follicles in catskin, arch to the grey touch of urgency, see mind and body blur, burr over the pierced blue riverbed, as it purrs its omens and the old year dies, fierce. ...from The Fairytale Journals... 2005 copyright babygirLPress **Intoxicant to the SouL** |

The kids' program commercials jutting into the depth of thought, yet the write purged on... Excellent work here! |

and they grieve their song, trembling in the syrinx of throats too slim to swallow the sob held tightly in its vehement desire to speak DAMN! I think that but do you think I can ever say it like that. You are a tease, when is this book out lady? Absolutely fantastic writing but then you get to expect that after a time.  |
