Fell Wordsmith, under spreading chest nut hair
she stands over anvil with her next mouthful in her hand
heart kiln cleared cleaned of flesh freshly flayed laid out
like so many holes cut in so many shirts
where we wear our hearts when not our sleeve cuffs
downy down one path that leads to another
here I am with her vacant picture looking back
the empty hull of her words once bent in a ring of promises
now hot tempered out flat into a razor of memory
I know now the color of my own blood
Or how to lick wet nurse my wounds
so that the scar I am left with
is only the slightest of smiling lines.

Here her list of reasons a cadence of becauses
because we are human, because we are lonley
because we all of us deserve happienss.
because we are all of us beautiful
in spite of spite and our sometime frightful behavoir
She sings her songs of the pacific
as only one who talks to otters can
though I know a different story
we play for a small while in her illusions
until she tells me she found an other
a better better for her to be
so I drift away as kelpend and bereft
a soft shelled crab so discarded
all my sticky insides sticking inside out
my dreams float as oil on water
reflecting borrowed light of the sun
weaving their smokey whispy images
before they dissappate around the world,
to be reformed in another dream
to someone somewhere else.
