There is me



There is a web of thick, wet strands

silver, or scary

they  beg for the eyes, nose, touch, and taste.




There is you



You drape the webs over our figures
together

Understanding

It was the youngest, brightest time.


Set with fury,
underneath a moon.



We buried our bones beneath a heap.


And,


Watching the miles so far,


We

sung into a staircase.


Sometimes,

obliterated by shame.



To touch, to see
the sweetest guidelines
of love's inside.






As spots of dew
are plucked for a King



The King is running up the stairs!

There are birds outside

There are birds outside today.

They are puppies playing

In the snakey coral cactus.

They hup and puff and flutter

And swing Matily

And ballet the needles.

Then they run across the roof

Like little lizards.

Oh how I do too

Trusy merrily

On the arm of the prickles,

Inches from the down looked snakes head.

Strategy

Shark!!

big fishy

I prefer words that were not popular in high school.  Popular words have baggage.
 I  carry the bags for these words, up the stairs to rooms I rent for them. I played practical jokes with the room assignments.  "Dad" was staying in "God's" room.  "Me" staying in the "devil" room.   "Angel" is staying on the roof.  I can't touch her but I feel her diaphonousness.

Its difficult to find words that  I have never met.  Its useful to use a series of simple or mostly neutral and less used words together as a team.  A team of new words  can open a window instead of a closet.  But popular words can also be helped by the team.  They can be set free by a team.

Imagine an agave-colored forest

steaming and red with wild flares.

But the flames don't kindle or melt one pointy leaf.

The water-slick woods hold cool

and their leaves glow blue around the tips.

In the forest waits a clearing where all souls camp

What can words say?
Words can say any thing,
But they can't ask questions.
