    Artistic ambiance
    penetrates
    the linear world.
    Such miracles ...


    for those who hate punctuation in poetry, ummmm, je regrete...?

    And GREAT idea, Cdn! Hi to Barbara, long time no talk!

    No light,
    sleeping casually
    without words
    to know.
    and somehow a dog
    has taken itself & its tail considerably away
    into the mountains or sea or sky, leaving
    behind: me, wag.
    - John Berryman

    Pull back the cover,
    Cold,
    Come warm me.
    I'm in love with The Vinegar Man and Mr. Tanner, but be careful, it could just as easily be you.

    Imprisoning by words only
    The poem become soulless

    “Those who seek to satisfy the mind of man by hampering it with ceremonies and music and affecting charity and devotion have lost their original nature””

    “If water derives lucidity from stillness, how much more the faculties of the mind! The mind of the sage, being in repose, becomes the mirror of the universe, the speculum of all creation.

    Eight is such a
    lovely round number,
    no?

    Beckoning blue
    No clouds

    Not being able to write
    is certainly itchy.
    .
    ...the smell of flowers through metal labyrinths.

    Black clouds
    lightning
    in my head
    then sunshine

    Hi, Kiz! You're right, I've been very lazy of late.
    O schaurig ists übers Moor zu gehn,
    wenn es wimmelt vom Heiderauche,
    sich wie Phantome die Dünste drehn
    und die Ranke häkelt am Strauche.


    Annette von Droste-Hülshoff (1797 - 1843) (see avatar) Der Knabe im Moor/The Lad in the Moor

    Tilt to the sun.
    Accept
    its joyful grace.

    Second day, gray,
    that's okay,
    spring rain needed.
