I was drunk with Carlo in Midtown

I bought it from a charming young artist on the Halifax waterfront, named Robb Scott.

Luminescent beads beat dark sands into submission
Each drop brings on a new shape that wasn't before
We never keep anything we touch
Shapes shift as they come into our grasp
Humans destroy that which we don't understand
And embrace change as though it were within our nature
Awakening, the moon changes patiently
Phases shift between new and old
Just as everything begins, so it ends

Across green waters, a blow-hole appears
Breathing life to a spectacular creature
Who's decided to get intimate
A pectoral fin slaps the water
As it glides smoothly past
My heartbeat intensifies
Senses intoxicated with this presence
This majestic, enormous being
Playfully, it brushes against
Cuddling close to reassure
A dorsal fin breaks surface
And then the flukes

With the sway of her body,
Beating against the side of her hip,
Like mellifluous tubular bells,
Falling back into line
Only to be roused again.

Winter chill realizes itself upon her docile, perfumed skin
One step onto the sidewalk
Is like exiting some verboten underworld
To emerge in the bright, weltering hustle and bustle of
City streets on... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (Pre4Pepsi) http://bassgod.yuku.com/topic/1172 Mon, 14 Oct 2002 05:03:29 GMT http://bassgod.yuku.com/topic/1174/t/Blue-eyed-Wonder.html Far too many for me to name
Traveling's part of my vocation
My vocal stylings are my claim to fame

Sometimes called "the blue-eyed wonder"
Still my family knows the truth
I recently tried to tear assunder
My fans' minds, daring them to act as sleuths

I laugh and taunt them by and by
Poetic justice, so says I

A multitude of smooth, crystalized molecules so desirous
No mere mortal can refuse
Silvery implement, its trenchancy a necessity
Each perfect spherical dose, its surface tough to breach
Tastebuds in frenetic turmoil
Quickened pulse in anticipation of each delectible bite

Last night I dreamed that my husband and I were on a plane to Germany...

in this dream I was 7 to 8 months pregnant...

The airplane went crashing down...
Skidding into a snowy field, harming noone, but seriously freaking out all of the passengers and passersby.

Always forgetting to set my clock
I don't learn until
I've stumbled over the rock
But, then
I forget again...
Wait-

I warily walk over
Those street gratings
I don't fall in, but
I might get caught in the wind
Shaking like a leaf on a tree
Because I know I'm ME

Vulnerable
To the changes in the sun
Vulnerable
When I'm caught with my zipper undone
Vulnerable

FYI: Haiku is a three line poem in 5-7-5 format. That means the first line is 5 syllables, second line is 7 syllables and the third line is 5 syllables.

Reveal fragile breath, darling
And escape in evening aferglow
