jess w., thanks.
forgot about writing this one 'til you suggested we go to poetry.com to read your poem "Hey You."



They fall from me:
the orange peels,
the low blood sugar.

They fall from me:
my asp-like fears,
my terror of
your love.

It falls from me daily:
my state
of Grace. Yet

I awaken every
day, as tall as
the morning before.

And wonder that
we are lifted,
the sun and I,
and how night prepares us for the day.

Ugh, poetry.com; years ago, I became one of many who submitted a poem. I know not if a copy remains on the site, but I fear too much to check (he-he-he).
Beautiful piece, by the way, jessw - remarkable imagery.

thank you mono (p'raps you meant me ;))

here's your poem, jess: :)

:( that's what i copied from your poem's page, but the link doesn't go there; typing in your name in the search box that comes up does, though - hope it's okay to give it again, as you did earlier: wikinson, jessica. :)
