Mere Ink

musing on creatures and existence and reincarnation and what we're taught and how we love........and....and....and

a tortoise twisted and turned 

in a bed of leaves

with his lover nearby

it was a very very long night

so much so

the lover was dead by morning light

the hare sprinted his blessing

leaving aftershave in a haze

a daze of loves afterburn spurned

for advanced ear: confessing

crisp mentor

or

minty teacher:

frog march

total tea drinkers 

under leaf cover

for Heaven's evening

Now,

ion-wired elk in the clearing

appearing at dawn

times 10

if you wait long enough

he'll come again

~*~

a trinity of imagined lives beyond this mere ink..

tortoise incarnate

suave hare

indelible elk

just think

this doesn't just touch the mind on the surface, this goes deep.
I enjoyed the hints of inner rhyme, it added a nice sway do the dance of words.

I am... thinking...and thinking. This is existential to the max. I can relate to the tortoise's tossing and turning, but I love the image of the ion-wired elk in the clearing at dawn: crystal clear and beautiful.
