Here before we can begin we need a place agreed upon a box that we can mark as "x" and you must do some listening (nod agreement-- I'll proceed) There are things that you should know trust is like an arrow spent with a satin rope attached for though we are on the same path a chasm lies non-transitive so never ever lie to me for if you do I'll pull it back and burn the mercy offering to send the arrow quivering right into (and indirect) your chest is slightly off and yes! of what you used to be and this-- give me time and some content meant to chart some chivalry back into the world and mapped by deliivering of lack of laughter and the ruse of sweet orchards growing in our midst and let me take each finger kiss and make a new thing from your fist: a lotus, blossoming and worse not without my noticing a flash of trout rejoicing me by laughing with a tail of us flipping with an orange flash and silver like a vodka bash speckled in my wanderings poking ripples just for fun disrupting all these uni-words and verses written in the stream tickering too fast like news bubbling like champagne pews in houses not so much Holy... It's--it is we are-- like this: traveling like refugees headed for a brand new church past the best divinities looking for a Paradis - sing to me mah gran-maw-re' and I will say my prayers and do everything you taught me to-- forgetful of the strap and blue before we can begin again (crooning) "I must bury you.." folded in the flour with stamina and common sense boasting to the nose the scent of home and some dry whetting stone and edges of a 'something quick' a cast iron pot and spatula of a roux that is a test-- withholding all the evidence deliberately not noticing the absence of the pig. |

I don't know that I always get it, but oh, I do SO love reading you. You always make me stop and think. I can never just give your poetry a cursory read. I read it slowly, trying to get every nuance. Good to read you again. I need to get back to these pages more often. You can never win or lose |

Thanks for reading...and um, no I wasn't calling anyone a pig.  Written with a huge dose of enouragement from a friend, and the title? That's easy. As in "Big Easy", as always I layered my symbolism and didn't tie them together too well. The trust issue I almost wrote as "trussed"--but I figuredI'm goofy and inaccessible enough without tossing that one in there. The title was also lifted from another conversation with a friend. We had gotten together and tried, without success, to resurrect a certain spirit of "care forgot". It was a bit like trying to have a cochon de'lait (pig roast) without a pig. So in my own weird way, I thought that relationships without trust are much the same. End of disclaimer/explanation, with my apologies to anyone who took this as an attack poem on anyone's character. sigh. (gee, Karen, y'really got a way with words.  ) |
