While pretzeled in a chair with
cummings you came to me,
you do that (constantly)
you sneak up on my mind
and disguise yourself as an idea
again
(as if it were yours) wrap-
ped yourself around my wandering
so that I was always ahead
or behind you in thoughts
(and were they yours or mine?
it gets so confusing when we're this way)
together
it was ee with a limb tucked under
and just when I (having calculated
that my life had only average
expectations) was as numb as
my leg was becoming
I'm all pins and needles
again

Re: Re awakenings
Wow! I see you there with ee and I feel the feelings of a similar situation. There is not an extra word, nor a missing thought. It is whole. A whole about a mixture of feelings that are incomplete.
Wow! This touched me. Nostalgia and the past are calling. Re: Re: Re awakenings
Thank you Liz, glad it spoke to you in language that reached those places in you and sounded a call.

Love your poem. best wishes, The Artist
Re: Re: Re awakenings
Thank you Artist. I had a look at your site. You are very talented. I must say I liked the paintings from your "dark" period. There were one or two that appealed to me a lot because of the use of light and shadow. You have a style.

It is so like you to outcummings cummings. In just a few words, you draw us in and make us feel. Your mastery of poetry is amazing.
Re: Re: Re awakenings
That's quite a compliment, anonymous, to be compared with cummings (whose poetry I cut my teeth on). Thank you for dropping by, next time leave your name and URL so we may visit you.
