la voilà et encore


she's back again, my nemesis

mother earth with all her charms
and accoutrements
and those wide charismatic arms
that sweep up the humble of heart
and their faulty clockworks
some talk too much and others
not enough, some make themselves
naked as infants and others
dress up fine in moroccan rags
that sashay in the wind and flirt

i'm not ready for yet another
mother or sister to feel me out
and then put me on the side like a
sieve for her tears, i'm crying all
the time for what i've lost and
can't get undone by another femme fatale
can't fall in love with another mirror
i can't let me myself be swept up
in her winning waveforms and thrills
and then engulfed and killed

i'm swimming for my life
and i haven't the force
to forgive before the fact
another crime and rejection
the idéale of my thought
the mother of my perfection

o kate, i am so glad you posted! ty. i did spot a typo thanks to your note! there is only supposed to be one "the time that i've lost and"... so much for "the mother of my perfection" lol!

yes, a bit of a rage, i'm afraid. it's good for soul, isn't it? i've never quite figured out the answer to that question. :>>))

hahaha, hazyq! mon dieu, that's the point of the whole piece right? lol you too funny and way too smart.

well if it's you posting cartoons on your blog, i'm gonna have to get my hide directly over there 'cause i know how damned brilliant you are in spite of your lovely humility.

and i'm going to put your blog and website on my links here, haze, so others can enjoy your light too, and i can better remember to read you. i just finished reading several days worth of blog postings and each is a jewel.

love you. sorry about the anniv of your friend's horrible death. bless him and all who remember him! ~lt
