this human septum

for Marsha

Your acting like I've never been in love before, the way I smell like Icy Hot.

My shoulder hurts from that last sexed position. If I dreamt at all,

I would have swam thru crocodile infested waters just to lay my

wet, leeched  a*s on yours. See, it's not complicated. There's a horse going sideways

making turns around the center and then going through that is this

electric current. How about that?

You watch Star Trek long enough and Vulcanicity fills the room with

blown fragments. And whatever devotion is left over,

whatever spent senses rise like those creepy Ferengi;

of that strange baldness,

I shall love that also.

~I've read a lot of your poems this morning. It is honest, palpable and imaginative. I would think some of it is also biographical as well to some extent. To me, it is almost like jazz. There are no effects thrown in to smooth it out. It is what comes out. I have no intellectual acuteness to add as the others so eloquently have but I've enjoyed your work this morning including this poem. Thanks for sharing it.~

those are some mighty powerful words for a simple person as myself to read Relic. But I read them and I was thrilled.....I love the jazz analogy....dana

Love the Star Trek references....but resistance is futile! :) The honesty in this one is fantastic. Using Icy Hot because the sex position hurt your shoulder....incredible! When Star Trek...or some other TV or internet show....is more interesting than the person in the room, it is time to find the door. Dana, I never know what to expect when I read you. Your writing is unique and in a class by itself. Lydi**

I'm guessing it was an eventful night? Or, at least, you wanted it to be. This kept me entertained regardless!

Love, such a simple emotion in one way, yet the mechanics are more complicated than the Universe.

I so enjoy reading your poetry, your approach is both fascinating and unique.

even the Vulcans go into heat every seven years and if they don't mate it creates a madness in them, causes imbalance, insanity and even death if not stabilized by some good old fashioned pretzel bending, just imagine what it can do to regular humans.

To varying degrees, 80% of people suffer from a deviation of the septum; not bad considered 100% of people suffer from misaligned love at some time or other. T

'You watch Star Trek long enough and Vulcanicity fills the room with - blown fragments.. '

Have realised that reading poetry introduces one to more than words; you convolute with such dexterity, tossing letters into places where hidden punctuation has absolutely no need for band-aid!
