I want to feel the scratch
from the burrs and brambles of your journey,
the sting of antiseptic that leaves
a trail of cleanliness through dust
and mud.

Have you discovered
the other half to my truth?
We stub toes on the Rosetta stone,
we bleed in Greek.

It means everything, everything.
Step aside, let me stomp down
the sticker bushes until we reach
the cloven mud prints
and a path of bent grass that leads us
to the moss covered sleeping grounds.


for T.

Long torturous path to the bedroom. Beautiful metaphor.

A nature piece with more truth than is nature seen.

Lead On

Bleeding in Greek ranks right up there with brain saliva.

stomp away,

I see you are leading people down mysterious paths again,

But you Know I will follow

I ALSO ..

found your words to be mysterious in meaning,

but loved the way you used them, and the

context itself.. left me wanting to come

back for more.... -sGp-

Picking out poems one really likes...

...is always complex. I like this one, a lot, but can't really articulate why. I could say "well, it's mysterious" and it is, but that doesn't satisfy me.

I could be simplistic and say that anything that mentions the Rosetta Stone would win my heart (and mind). But I also dislike the simplistic.

Let me just say this sounds well to my ear and moves me in ways I don't quite understand.

Sometimes it is good to not fully understand.
