still
a creature survives
"alochol"
undefeated yet gasping
like the bull panting dust in the fighting ring of a mexico sun
i too
try to rise
prehaps 3 miles
awkard, flimsy and in pain
kicking off
the matador of my memories
reversing christ
changing wine into water (jl)

Once again, Jay, a beautiful poem. I could only wish for a talent like yours. I hope you are writing these such that you could compile a book of poetry. I would buy it to keep.

There is a country (USA) song about turning wine back into water. It is definitely not in the freestyle ee cummings style that you write but I love the song and its meaning.

If you don't like it, no worries. I like so many different styles and genres.

wine into water song and poem

Love,

hope its ok to put one more piece on here it helps me to write and stay sober
this is a piece i wrote in a tribute to friend of mine

(f/craig)

i, remember a loverof distance
and imagine how your inner empire grew
whilst particpating in that immensity
yes! awareness affirmed you
but its embrace wieghed heavy
for it disclosed " longing"..that arid ground
where all separate hearts attempt to fly upward
yet in youth ,i also attempted beginings
some with you
remembering trains we took , journeys on foot
but mostly continuing alone
immersed then in the daily tasks of being
i returned only occasionally
to memories receeding shore
but still that tangled yearning grew
yours leading to deeper depths than mine
annulling time
as absence rooted there
for tell me!
in these forced intervals
who accepts us here
does god utter his unknowings
or prehaps just fate possesses us
so again drawing again those similar near
if only but too briefly
for now
only i remain (jl)
