after days of gloomy mood & gloomy skies, there was a lightening |
i practiced my work(wo)manlike behavior and just did what i'm supposed to do--stacked some words together in a funky crooked wall, and it felt great. good or bad, destined for an audience or the audience of one, doesn't matter.
the work happened, and that's all.
i heart c.d. wright so much, and this poem looks as good as my day felt. click on this link to hear the poet read the perfectly plain & beautiful piece below:
Flame
the breath the trees the bridge
the road the rain the sheen
the breath the line the skin
the vineyard the fences the leg
the water the breath the shift
the hair the wheels the shoulder
the breath the lane the streak
the lining the hour the reasons
the name the distance the breath
the scent the dogs the blear
the lungs the breath the glove
the signal the turn the need
the steps the lights the door
the mouth the tongue the eyes
the burn the burned the burning
