Words

 

 

Words, no more than the pixels of the sky reflected off retina

the light years of distance between yesterday and tomorrow

yesterday exploded spectacularly, today it twinkles composed;

tomorrow it burns though the atmosphere to but a small stone

that hisses upon damp impact, to the pit of a cramped belly,

grows a vine and tangles splintery a chicken wire meshed mind,

all the composite shapes of an abandoned hive, winter worn

warm of vitality dripping still, cerebral fluid, thin but equally sticky.

The imagery and concepts in this are fantastic, Di; imaginatively expressed and definitely gives a lot to ponder, I think... of... the physics ...in comets... how these become ideas turned into words... and the divinity of thought this becomes... all wrapped together and inside as one.

Yeah, I'm kinda back.
Sorta.
Maybe a lot more this time.

correct me if im wong..
but the way i interperate this poem is that there is more to words than just letters
but a meaning that is so hard to be explained

[Emily B]

my words feel like this today. . . cramped belly and all.

Tomorrow, maybe, my words will be taller.

"Words... cerebral fluid, thin but equally sticky."

yeah, thin but sticky, i will remember that, thats great. nice circle here, flowwed perfectly, from one unspeakable dream to the next unspeakable dream. the meaning is certainly not lost, even if the words are (and rightly so)

I'm stumped. What's it all about? If you mean to simply employ "word jabs", I hope you got a mean upper-cut, cuz these jabs just are not landing for me.

from the seminal idea that the mind contracts
as it adheres to the dream coming true
all of this resonates as if we create our own
realities and we do..

you always amaze me, this one I'm keeping, loved one
