    Flying Kites Over Cemetery Gates and Her Journals

    Yr unig wirionedd    Love flew out of your mouth in hieroglyphics  like an invitation to a sky wedding  writ on the wrists of kites     Dawn ghosted,  as a ship’s prow through windows  tangled in curtain rigging     in the way silence enters an emptying room  sunrise gallows hang  heavy...

    • The boat theme in this is eerily good.

      • Thank you. There is something enchanting, and yet, eerie of the ocean. It’s bigger & greater than human kind.

    • The first line immediately sucked me in.
      You do not waste any words with your poetry and you let us see what we see. I really like that in poetry.
      You are an amazing wordsmith.

    • You make me think…
      It’s cool, I’m good at it!
      I enjoy the complexity of your writes. The vocabulary. The nuanced messages. Even, a word I never knew until you shared it.
      So thank you for the enhanced ability of your writes. It makes me stronger by reading them. And enjoying them.

      • As always, you are too kind Mark. I don’t miss many from DU, but you are definitely on the missed list.

    • This truly shows your intelligence and talent. Very supernacular.

      • Ha. I’m loving “supernacular” Sounds a bit like an Oasis song. Thank you A.

    • I agree with previous commentors on the talent.
      I like the analogies presented in this write.

      just before they entombed her under the cathedral floor.

    Scrapbooks
