We are an eye for an eye
falcons soaring over Nabathean sandstone
desert verses
sinuous calligraphic curves
ululating vowels, glottal stops and thundering hoof beats

We are cultured introverts
deer bounding on autumn leaves in the Catskills
alternative histories
structured over high tea and Irish whisky
Harrow diction, a raised eyebrow and leather-soled oxfords

We are casual hedonists
fucking on a crusader's couch
strewn with Bedouin pillows
Ignoring politics
questions of nationality, and ethics
because nothing works

That last verse

is a killer.

Nice work

nothing works

when taken alone, one element against another - too many differences... but only in the coming together, that moment of non-thinking, does any of it make sense.

whatever your intentions as the author, i love this. its language, its imagery, its ... richness.

I can get closer

the multiple meaning of the word "state", I can probably tell you what this was run through and running against. Since we seem to be playing a game of knowing and unknowing, I leave it as that. A little uncertain?

Suggestion, do it with "quark", post it in that cheesy thread. That would be amusing.

Explain?

twelveone: Actually, you'd be surprised at how much you DID understand! Thanks for the input regardless.

Pointless

desert verses from deserted senses

how the fuck did we get to the Catskills

Oh alternative universe

but I do have some questions

because nothing works

in my laborious quest

for a reason

Got One?

I'd love to hear it.

I did not vote

Very nice

Each stanza is vivid as a photo embedded with your fine poetry.
