Become a Fan

Drift like a broken antler
in the soft silt quick
cleft after cleft shallow & deep
on return to twist & haul
at the ragged rift on
shore sea blue jut jagged
pull writhe belly taut
in bend at knee break
on the tide’s swell breeze
back bent to shoulder swirl
curl in lift to the flood fall
to the watch heave cleave
stancing in double hand held
on eternal slack which holding
loose containing never releases
but more pulls
on the swivel still unslacking
raging silent till torn aloft
wrenched up to the adoring sky.

What a lovely and utterly unique language has been endowed to you. I enjoy the stilted yet thought provoking flow of your constructs, and also the arcane sensibilities. "Drift like a broken antler" certainly sets a peculiar tone of living, and the happenstance of one's journey as we travel through this life on our road to eternity. Richard
