Your cold-blooded matter of fact “I’m not the girl for you”, gaze still sends unanswered ring tones of spongebob waterfalls slumped over your barbed wire smirk didn’t you see the scars embedded in my flesh? like unqualified embarrassment grins to my easy to understand science based nudity rubbing against your nostrils like a dare Set in motion by a now forgotten hand motion melting into each other, cross examining way of life details chanting, praying, walking the healing path i’m untouchable, unreachable and still emotionally wall papered like stand up bones changing position while pouring some insight of soul wine it was a miracle, yanno? turning me from a quadriplegic to some ghost dancer at wounded knee someday on the eve of telling light of truth will flip flop namesakes through the mirrors of wet cultural buss stops where i live to tell about it… in a pitch of fever, sighing “don’t let your life pass you by” warm breath smelling of moth balls and all because I was asleep for 40 years stepping out in front of the freight train you drove yes, by the light of truth, I lied about my epoch & bridal dress while pulling coins from my pocket to pay listening to my despondent inner soul it was my decade hungry for the newness after accepting a ride from 3 chimpanzees in the sweat lodge of their underworld my yellow ribbon bearing a magnet of valor, in the killing fields of your summer romance novels You the violin boy Me the penitent warrior whom... by the way... loved you like anything! feeding your ego, like always |

Powerful poetry, Lee. I wish that I could convey a fourth of the imagery you do! Wow, do you pack a punch! |

Sometimes we are too busy feeding everybody else's ego, that we forget to feed our own! We must remember that we are just as important as they are. Your poetry never ceases to stir my emotions! Big, warm hug-o-love, Linda |

The... “I’m not the girl for you” Makes me feel so much better... Knowing that there is obviously someone far crazier than I am. He has to be. ::smiles:: I find great comfort in that. |
