.........A..L..T..H..E..A.............

Voluminous
spreads ringlets
full of gold
and rich deep shades

suffuse
a timbre
beneath the
above
has awakened
the river
an electrical
apparition
appealed
and found

this alarm howling
at dusk
a klaxon blaze
striking its honed
keen point
fresh soul
fresh taste
beneath boughs
bending in secret
troughs

like the delicate braid
of gold at your throat
gentle

walking through all
while histories
crumbled consumed
with its haste
you stole me
gripped in mortal
deeds
blinded with the ambitious
light
like a sword
a zeal

wounded me
to rest
staining
filling the brooding
skies with the
luster of these eyes
gleaming

a current
of visions
swaying
in the heat

a meal of breadcrumbs
and violet eve's

thank you

i read miltons great masterpeice and then joseph conrad ..the others..
atwood...marg laurence..even rebecca godfrey for her characters and
from the hip way of writing....(wanted someone young and from canada)
the only way i find these authors.

sometimes im on a roll..i still just sit down here or at the library and crank
these out between cleaning the house and running errands..back in from
walking the dog or like usual just way way way past when i should be
sleeping.....

sometimes they come out beautiful.....like playing at the table
luck mostly for the good hand...

thank you..

Althea..feminine name..mostly..unlike Aubrey or Lori..

greek for healing or something like that....i find that evening..after a day of events
before dream time..before darkness and ghosts and z0mbies wolves walking.
i go over that which fulfilled me with hope and dreams....sometimes its women..
they are a mystery...i have known many strong...small..beautiful women..small
as in stature not age nor dignity or stature in community....dusk.....then that
wall of rising violet when the stillness echoes..a breif and magical time....clarity..
mystery..fear..a bold rush knowing darkness will come....I like different names..
probably the first ordinary title i threw up....thank you
