there's a feeling
I get in my gut
that tells me
my soul must live there

it's as warm
as the flesh of a tumour
as cold
as the fist of her stare

and on nights such as this
when I feel it
when I'm breathing
both water and air

I curl up
in the lap of confusion
to nurse
at the breast of despair

Tony, This must be one of your new ones as I don't remember of seeing it. I love it however.

Yet again, Tony you amaze me with your depth of words and how you take an image and theme and make it SO much more.

LOVE this - powerful write!

Intellectually I know that Canada is no better than any other country. Emotionally I KNOW that Canada is the best country in the world!
