my hands are the crows of stone
on perch not to fly but to cry
with finger pluck the beaking strike

on the bites of sound songs
symbol by symbol on broken wing

there are walls with leaves
flat faced they peer at my eyes
to catch my winds and bend them

lest there is flight through keyholes
and the locks of a lover's dreams

are picnicked spoonless empty sighs
left as stains on a bosom's shimmering
like a hurried licking's leftovers

without the sabbath's refrigeration

and never get a damned thing done.

A place we have all been to at some time m'friend....
and yet the same the
need is sometimes so great,
that we write about the need

just to write                                                                                                                                                  ah...but when your pen speaks

oh how blessed we are    


btw...love your new sig line.

ms karen,
(and I fear no evil cause I am demean)

a poem for you?
they all are no? (grin)

bourbon street serene
you wear the morning edges
like sighs on velvet moments

something jazzy with wickedry
but a little girl giggles
and your fingers are hers

when you cover your mouth
and smile another day's dawn
with the tears of a woman's eyes

Oh my, the title poem is fine.  But then the one thrown into the reply string-it makes me gasp.
