CHASM

cut me the slack
and watch my back
the bitterness black
bottomless and
verve struck
rings like a hot nerve
we cut

this love
excites

these words entice
like a kiss
wanton and
never given
like an obsession
driven

at one time

We would write poetry in two typewriters
and we would answer on the bottom of them just like here
Airmail paper or vellum great memories..

different rythymns

this one was fired off faster then most
as I had not much time left on the computer
here when I was here like yesterday
and every other day it seems

I like that
the ability to create in different moods
and textures
I miss the typewriter though a lot
and am starting to write longhand in
a journal again

there's nothing like being in

there's nothing like being in the rhythm with the whole mind body soul and spirit....this is when the muse does her thing.. offers open hands....fluidity, lucidity and startling stark revelations.

always read your stuff though i may not comment ...no one writes an Esker poem like you do.
