I live under a million-acre sky. My chest is open and my feet are grounded. I dig into the deep and dank of life. I have dirt under my fingernails and freckles on my shoulders. I believe in my body. I am strong.
I love words so I write stuff down.

let us go now to a place where rooftops are flat - no rise no run and water color drips from a canvas sky someone stretched over this baked brick town where I leave adobe footprints through yellow oak leaves that do not hurry to the ground
Nice!
ReplyDeleteIf you are there or have been, I envy you. This is my next home I hope, and you've painted it beautifully.
ReplyDeletethanks, Danny...Diana, I was there recently and I share that "next home" wish with you. thank you x
ReplyDeleteI like this poem, and the first line particulary.
ReplyDeleteIt draws the reader in and reminds me of TS Eliot. Which is awesome.
ah...that is the highest compliment you could ever give earthgirl :) my humble thanks to you
ReplyDeleteYellow oak leaves that do not hurry to the ground....
ReplyDeleteThere is a zen-like calm in the poem....exquisite...

I love the abruptness in the beginning which then leads into something slow and unhurried like leaves falling to the ground.Lovely.
