*** STOP PRESS *** Had a quick natter on the blower with Ed Mat this evening and he is currently being discharged!! HALLELUJAH! He's had a rough ride but sounds good and upbeat. He thanks everyone for their stalwart love, prayers, cards, calls and general good wishes. Ed hopes to be back with us soon, but is still very grateful for our ongoing kindness and support as he makes this move back home. GREAT NEWS! KEEP UP THE GOOD PROGRESS, ED! :)) XX



FEEL


You feel them:

surreptitious palms
slithering through your pockets;

sticky fingers thumbing
through the treasures
in your brain;

prying looks prising cracks
in private slatted blinds.

But follow my eyes,
trace paths of my hands,
track high tides of my breathing…

Feel them?

Warm fibrillating filaments
in the feather of your soul?

Kate - Enjoyed how you use the physicality of the hands to express the
untouchable reality of thoughts and emotions. Nice sounds, too. - David

We are sometimes obsessed with a form of knowledge that requires proof.
But we can never be sure without our feelings.

You seem to be drawn to the pleasant game of alliterations lately... :)

I especially like those "prying looks prising cracks /in private slatted blinds", quite expressive!

You amaze me Kate, so unique your thoughts and expressions. Bringing to light things most never imagine.

I think of the mammoth florescent green moth (I don't know its species) I found once upon my door post. It's antennae (feelers) were exceptionally long and looked exactly like fragile, intricate, feathers. I could image that little creature feeling the changes in temperature, feeling pollen in the air, and even feeling my scrutiny. I have felt the soul of another (my beloved husband) in such a way-- so I relate deeply with this poem. We hate the prying eyes and probing fingers "in our brain" of those who haven't earned their entrance there, but the mental, emotional, and spiritual intimacy you describe as "warm fibrillating filaments in the feather of your soul" is the closest we will ever get to heaven on earth.

I can feel the hands of time caressing me and enticing me to leave this abode and join them in the sanctuary of God's palace. I should be so fortunate.
