Slick Getaway

Posted on June 1st, 2007 by Shewolf

even sky makes things slick
etching need on pane

a barrier

your curt reply
pounds pavement
so there is no time
to retrieve necessary
nuance of it

setting out bucket
to catch good rain
like good woman
meaning to husband garden

you missed it by a mile

coming up empty
season after season
bargain after bargain

collecting nothing of consequence

even earth sucks you away

Shewolf: As in my blog about Christmas earlier, an Elder says that we are to make everyday Christmas. It would be something, wouldn’t it?
Erin: Oh how I wish that Christmas would never end. It is such a fun time… brings out the best in most people. I will miss it.
Shewolf: How far the lack of fear can take us. If we approach something out of fear….we are fearful not loving. Yes, the world is an absolute mess it is in because of our FEAR and all its tentacles. Ilsiten to the news as little as possible, but I heard, last night, how there is no...

All...
cordieb: Heartbreaking. This is the second blog entry I’ve seen recently about a missing young family member. We just never know, do we? http://sorrow11.wordpress.com/ 2008/12/17/bones/
johnny: touRXV Thanks for good post
Rob Ganson: On Carol’s “White Wisps” Somehow, I’m transported, by these ghosts, to a bent sort of time where the needed de-evolution seems possible. In stanza two, we are reminded that that which feeds the body can, and must, feed the spirit. That even meat, especially...
Shewolf: I send great floods of love to her to help her sustain. It is all I can do. I am, in a way, grateful not to be too close, by mileage, because I know she is like me, and needs to work it out on her own. I watch her do it. She was heartbroken and then, day by day, got to that deep place of...
cordieb: It hurts so much when those we love hurt; especially when we know there is nothing we can do to really take away the pain instantly. If you can keep her as spiritually grounded as you have been able to do for us so often; she will be just fine. Sending out healing vibes to your daughter...
Shewolf: The file was somehow corrupted. Let me see if I can dig it out and I will redo it and re-post it.
