just a thought yearned by Shell

(for J)

Night slips distance out of sky,
leaves tip breeze the nod and fly.

Time for moon to blossom dream;
let petals fall invisibly,
velvet curve tomorrow’s cheek;
full-moon aware they travel light.

Tomorrow, find stars in warm sand,
impossibly – they kiss his hand.

i don’t know if i’ve done this properly but it’s as right as i can fathom for now! down below is a link that seems to work; i’ve put all 3 recordings on there … i’ll use podcast for readings from now on if that’s ok .. still need to use right click for a separate window (or back) if you wish to comment … *baffled by all this techno stuff …

billet doux read by Shell

You never read these kisses but keep them anyway;
unwrapped every now and then – to amuse
the passers-by and their dogs who chase my words
balled up in string – they unwind even in the dim
before disintegration vents wild succulence apart.

You cannot, will not, see my kisses smile away
their weight and wasted time – but hush,
the dogs are happy, that’s enough for now,
their tongues and tails are wagging for the moon.

omg – i just recorded two poems for you to listen to, if you’d like to hear my wonky voice *grin .. no rehearsals, just as is … i’m using sound upload for now as i’m still in shock that i did this.

it’s a bit of a clonky process and you’ll need to click back to here after listening or do that “open in new tab” thing …

if you have comments would you put them here?

i don’t intend to use sound upload as a place to talk though there is a comment box there … it’s just a temporary place!

sooo, i’ve tried light entertainment & unnameable

light entertainment read by Shell

thus far sweet particles
continue undispersed,
i am not a voided splash
marked maid-in-switzerland

while you
may truly lap my soul,
smile in 27 different ways
en route to the core;

thus, bit by precious bit,
we may yet collide
unimpeded by despotic whim

one breathslip and      there   there     here

not what you think or even what you

felt right then. a moment       falling    now
