Nonetheless, a meeting of melds
There was a
spooky telephone voice trailing
and following a night shadow
What I said and said again and
all the words I ever heard, rose
from a cacophony valley of
singing
So I climbed the mountain and
planted a flag and added my
voice to the distant but present
din
I said “Hold me as I have ever
beheld you…”
And the landscape smiled and
the trivial birds chirped and the
ancestors continued dancing in
the valley below
Which contained and composed
her as a beautiful body, ultimately
unconquerable by any such as the
bear coat men
I knew almost all of her was
edible that her other explorers
had been mostly insatiable lust
lance corporals
Which for some crazy inexplicable
reason made her very hungry, in a
silent triumphant sort of way…

Consider me part of the ancestry… I want to watch the landscape smile, too. Nice tribute…

I enjoyed this piece, especially the captivating imagery in the stanza above… well written!

I have both been her and wanted her.
Particularly enjoyed “trivial birds”; “I knew almost all of her was edible”; “silent triumphant”. How you harvest these words from your fertile mind I do not know. And you do find the MOST amazing pictures.
