A Moment, an Enduring Hush
I'll never forget that day
standing one-foot balanced
on the perfectly painted lines
of Judgment's desert highway
waiting for you
to roll in with the sands
in waves of stinging accusation
eroding the ankle that held me
to let me fall
and remain still
doomed to become a feast
for vultures of guilt.
Instead you rolled in
on the pulse of a storm
with your eyes electric
flashing slow-blue with the beat
of my woeful spirit
and your words for me
swimming within raindrops
of a million small tragedies
upon the desert floor
bringing the sands to green
playing the soft song
of love's compassion.
(C)2005 P.A.S.

~deep throating your poetry~
You already got the technical stuff, so I'm simply going to list phrases that made me love, and then I'm going to tell you about my new earrings.
NOW. I bought two pairs of earrings today: one set is three little rectangular chunks of garnet each on silver wire with a lil silver flower down the bottom, and the other is...two miniature red pegs. REAL pegs. Wooden. They work. I LOVE THEM!!!!!
I also bought Roald Dahl's The Witches - not bad for nine dollars all up, don't you think?
PS: YOU ARE THE BIGGEST SNUGGLY-BOTTOM IN ALL OF TOYLAND!!!!!
