bay leaves & gizzards Or Revelations In C Minor So thick, the red mantra of Autumn rain, opens the rose into shadow, so much of you, stills the cry of the darkling thrush I brought down from the gossamer valley of our only exile in blue slate, keys scream in C minor as you set darkness to echoes, filled with forbearance, our mouths speak their watery reprieves in a hush, my first breath was, always, an open wound, bay leaves cupped in half a dram of tears so thick, the damp earth is consecrated as they fall adrift among a burning garland of thorns, you etch into their innermost veins, a few furrowed salts that will never be found by the tongue, and yet even with so much withheld, within, suet to the inner lining of the soul’s blue tendons, as they slide, our bodies spin in swivels of bone and faith, burning through a slipknot of bliss, ignorance, they say, sounds like this low note, slow tiger streaks upon the panes, at nightfall, and burn like a field of poppies at the glass edge of our exiled pastures. 2005 (C) babygirLPress  **Intoxicant to the SouL** |

BabyGirl~ OH MY ... 'So thick, the red mantra of Autumn rain, opens the rose into shadow You invite me in with the beauty of your thoughts ... (great surprising difference from the title) ... Then - 'you etch into their innermost veins, a few furrowed salts that will never be found by the tongue' You word-court me with a ponder of my own inquisitive wonder ... THEN - 'ignorance, they say, sounds like this low note, slow tiger streaks upon the panes, at nightfall, and burn like a field of poppies at the glass edge of our exiled pastures' -... you word-curtsey so elegantly ... and I am left  -ing, while you take another bow~Bouquets to you~ Dynamic penning, poetess~ *Huglets*  ~*Marge*~ ~*No matter what I search for ... |

whew, girl you left me breathless from the beginning, then this.... within, suet to the inner lining of the soul’s blue tendons, as they slide, our bodies spin in swivels of bone and faith, burning through a slipknot of bliss, ignorance, they say, sounds like this low note, slow tiger streaks upon the panes, at nightfall, and burn like a field of poppies at the glass edge of our exiled pastures. amazing, amazing! |
