The soughing of these bones
If he was
a stoplight voodoo
chocolate, coffee, autumn
squeezing summer
from his pores
a word babe
swanky forget-me-not
-original
a bohemian night
trail blazing
my archives
If he was
anything
born of ocean thoughts
a sea-star
crystal galaxy
angel fish
a moonstone pool
of new beginnings
the shift in my
battle wrought soul
If he
bewitched the
silk spun threads
of my existence
murmured ritualistic
dulcet tones
into my nape
spell cast
into my chest
lungs
sleep
without
breaking
my seams
silencing
my stomach brain
I would relent
perhaps

Oh yez. I could just see you at Ferlinghetti’s City Lights passing the jug of rotgut wine and Mexican ditch weed back in the day. Howl!
Love your work.

Going through the archives can be fun & rewarding. Poetic talent is truly an immense responsibility I believe to be steeped in magic....it's why we call it "SPELLing", the way words create something from nothing through the filter of our minds. I love the rush of playful images and word groupings here, it's like a pleasant hypnotic spell....I think you use this responsibility well :)

Thank you Ben. Lovely to see you here. There's nothing like a good.SPELL. :D Love where this took you and what you got from it. "pleasant hypnotic speel" is what I'm looking for. :)

I love how you touch into depths of experience, feeling and intimacy with a sense of vulnerable revelation that holds a sense of time.
