* * *


There's a bit of you in me
and a splotch of me in you
and if it were an easy thing
we'd be twins
within the womb
my gray eye would lighten you
your dark gaze would level me--
and I could philosophically
say this was a lesson learned
but neither of us sleep -
we churn--
fighting so umbilically.

This is why we don't grow teeth
until we learn the lesson
"scorn"
grappling for fatter teat
even after we are born,

inventing

so creatively

reasons for the war of "we"

against the rationality

of the need for more.

is there a need of more or just a desire to receive more than a share? I like the twining (twinning) of thoughts in this and it bespeaks of sibling rivalry on so many levels.

a good commitee can decimate communication.

Gotta watch out for that umbilical

Poet, said my Muse to me, look in thy heart and write.

There's a new address to your poetry,
it's been briefed, by some new
muse; written, if at all possible
by someone who needs to pay for pages.

Yet, it is all still, and quite
gratefully, "serenity's work".

We are not identical twins, but twins in the self, looking for that other half of ourselves...our desires, wants....

anyway, that is what your beautiful words spoke to me...

and echo Kari's words...this is a whole new you...

an incredibly so....

This...was just a yin yang.

Maybe more yang than yin, but I do tend to vascillate.

Thanks for reading.
