twilight unto sunlight
dusky dawn shines
dismantled wings
.take flight.
shimmering within the clouds

a blossoming tree
a wilting flower
.petals under the prism.
of moonbeams and horizons

irony in the glass
half empty
spilling upon
me
.
an upside down frown
in the ceiling of my eyes
.
cracking the silence with sleight of hand
.
misinterpretation
of every word
poised on my tongue
swallowing down the molecular egression
of confusion
growing
within spiney webs and lampshaded visions
.
.squinting in the light.
.
..make something..
.out of nothing.
..make wrong..
.what was once right.

the irony of the candle
.flame demolished within it's own wax.
suffocating on oxygen
.
the logic within reality dies fast
.
.cast.
open casket stillframed secrets
spinning in mid air
sifting through glistening wings
.
bleeding into a shadow of what was once
there

Not only do you fascinate me with the way you use words, you even fascinate me with the way you use the humble period dot, as you do before and after certain words in this poem, endowing them with cryptic and mystical significance, calling them up to a higher reality. Single dots, double dots; one feels that one is witnessing a beautiful secret unfolding in the moonlight. A secret signification which is paradoxically direct in its efficacy; dots as miniature miracles.

One reason I am no good at moderating in the conventional sense is that I cannot bear to classify experience, to dissect the butterfly nor mount it as a specimen; I have studied far too much Zen for that... Just let me say your poem is beautiful and speaks to me, and leave it at that. You communicate effectively, using fresh and unusual ways which achieve a singular immediacy, and always, always the most ineffable sensuality.

I love your work; I think all our readers do.

Love to you, dear lady...

...from your fellow dreamer, lover, wanderer; your fellow poet,
