I can love you I can sing you
across the ocean across the most
impervious
uprising
concord
carnage

My blood begins
in your blood

But how high the precipice
that separates my lips from
your skin

Beautiful

I'd say I want to be you when I grow up, but you're younger than me so I've no excuse. ;)

Sigh!

Sigh is the best I can do, especially after following what Charley wrote.

Few words that speak volumes.

You are amazing as always, yet more so . . .

Two poems, this and ?Tongues?, that stand apart from your others, simple in form, to the affecting point, explicit in imagery, speaking different emotional languages from different places on the same breath. On the surface of the words and beneath, both poems seem the most deeply felt I have read from you yet.

This one absolute in its shape: tender, direct, beautiful and poignant.
