Studio8 - Uniting the Arts

life emanates from the sea
salt channels through our veins
through flats and ravines
achieving animation, and
then returning to stone

i run, in my own time i run
and the things that i've seen, all
that i have seen, runs behind me
alongside and within

gulls and cobblestones
tugboats, the sugar wharf
street urchins, out of dickens
plunder the five and ten
a vicious, feral joy

was it in constantinople
a peruvian marketplace
ten years ago, today?
yesterday is tomorrow too
these alleys, byzantine, complex

greek meanders, mariner
sails, the subterranean tunnels of love
the ancient, maudlin sorrow, joined
like a village dance, communal
arm in arm, steps in time
that graces, and borders the linen
the dowry of virgin and crone
incisions in marble flesh

simply gorgeous, dino

you're a sweetie! happy new year to you, judih

and a l'chaim to you
retsina and blushes
