sparked like a lick of lightening electrified, a fence between a powerful staff and a delicate stem the defence broken in half by only a whisper or a soul cry I can't tell the difference opposites opposing only by choosing between losing and more losing but by degree (almost minute degree) the change was rampant and powerful I caught the chain in my teeth happily perhaps I asked for it but I only knew I wanted it after the meeting I replay it like a movie of my birth and now the world is shades of want and rewind and forward motion slowed..... like the kiss of life and death a new life thickly shadowed and borrowed and made I want more than words I long beyond imagining this won't quite leave the realm of tragedy because to think.... to be... to become this war was too easily won, I am no victor or victim I am somewhere between the fence where I can't see the divisions, only the sun shining between the bolts of lightening and the smudges on my skin that came from the places I let you in no real smudges though they are as sweet and sticky as the plump kiss of fruit on a warm day nurturing the needing belly making the sorrow go awayIP: Logged |

How do you do it, Pixie? Your poems are so intensely personal that I don't understand half of what they refer to, yet your imagery is so vibrant that I'm moved to laughter and tears anyway.Good stuff! ------------------ Can you imagine a world in which each person understood that his only responsibility was to give and receive love?
