You love dirt and relish its making;
I'm with dirt that relishes taking--
dance with dust and make it pant
for breath with lively rave and rant
till something new becomes extant
with an address for its mail--
where good intentions hail--
and write to it in friendly banter,
make its frame your life's decanter--
lest all its livings fail--
but if it falls on paper dead
let me read its dusty headstone,
pass it down, tradition burried--
all the lovely thoughts you've carried
in the dirts of arts' we're partaking where
you've loved dirt and relished its making;
I'm with dirt still relishing taking.

I like poetry that sings to its surroundings and I like this...

take the cat hair tumbleweed with you. maybe you can make another cat

cool, very cool

are we really godless and songless, western man dancing with a stuffed gorilla through the blind alleys of a dead-end world?

the cat hair lair and reformulation, rebirth, is great here..

thanks joel. glad to hand you some lines. & get more lines handed back.

thank you emel for reading. i'm glad ye enjoyed. the ceaseless singing surges.

mnaz- maxwell bodenheim thought so. i like the image. & gorillas. but, we're probably not completely songless.
