these ascending hills

she went where it is me
mine was her's she had who i am
her body
wind and snow
her body
wrapping above mine
the sky tightly moving around
slowly opening invitation

she is there beyond as far as i can feel
yet as near as mine
something like before my own breathing
is where her's comes from
and in timeless shapes or knowledge
she drenches mine
in glow and wine

and as we roll into sunlight towards the sea
we run without waking
we sing without knowing
she is her own and mine
stepping up to golden waves crashing over
and elegant trees
prior to these

these ascending hills
for poetry through the ceiling. ISBN: 1 4241 8840 7

"Hear me, my chiefs!
I am tired; my heart is
sick and sad. From where
the sun stands I will fight
no more forever."

Chief Joseph - Nez Perce

    this is all good
    but the second and especially the third verses are some of the most beautiful strings of words maybe ever, imhfo
    beautiful without mush
    (an accoplishment that still eludes me)
    fuck 'em if they can't take a joke

    "what a long, strange trip it's been"
