ghost


I don’t do
this

well

living takes a
verve
but this

still
once just
once and

in

the
dark I thought

I
had

hands

Dang.

I loved that movie.

You caught this...that...

maybe you didn't want to
but you did....

and since I love watching Swayze...

you knew...[you must have!]
known I would be drawn
to this!

Amazing feeling in this one, quite appropriate for hands...I can imagine this so vividly in my mind.  Enjoyed, too.

I don't know what movie this relates to.  I don't understand the poem.  But I love it - just as one doesn't need to understand any of a particular language, nor a particular piece of music, nor the warblings of a bird, but one can love listening to all of these things.  This poem has an Emily Dickinson / William Carlos Williams / ee cummings but most especially Ratleader feel to it.

The yearn of this is so vibrant, so poignant... it goes straight to the heart... and then straight to the mind as it makes one wonder and ponder. Excellent work!!

So deep from within....with an ache to it.  Amazing really how the format fits the feel.
