With hunger, love spoons round diverging lines.    Last night's miscalculated sum, thoughtlessly tossed in the air by intimate euphoria, costing the life of some unnamed road, which I must now rename and move.   My eyes survey each horizon's heartless spine, I hear/think birds that fly from me,  by estimated latitudes, wings opening dark maps imprecisely, like an empty hand.   There are no marks made to misdirect your passion's kiss, just dark boundarys, sketchings ... more Celticlion Poetry Sat, 26 Apr 2008 08:42:35 GMT /section-566-poetry#comments 2 https://dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/comments/post.php/article/8217 https://dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/comments/feed.php/article/8217 https://dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/links/trackback.php?anchor=article%3A8217 https://dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/article-8308-trashy-crepe-myrtle https://dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/article-8308-trashy-crepe-myrtle   Myrtle, you done got gussied up good in that scandalous shade of magenta- or is it some whore's hue I can't recognise?

Some dance-hall miles-back, where no-one “pulled”, was shrugged-off - a last laugh in wind shivering shirts, then car-doors slamming out the dark. It was a black road in full-beam: cat's eyes, and road-kill; the lit passing of hedgerow and cow parsley peripheral to our snug revelry. Their mad over-take was glancing - a sudden flood in the rear-view mirror then a veering arc of passing headlamps out-running our swearing afterburn. What I recall is the whirligig of red brake-lights, cart-wheeling in darkness - a rotary of red dots circling the lane's unseen axis; then you all shock and sudden business in the back, shouting "get out" during our cautious slowing approach - and a snap of black air outside; a blurred sense of the hard road, and the hard luck of any night under the cold stars' erratic scatter; but you tuned into this high-wire act - knife-edged, quickened in head-light, all concern, commanding presence, advising, assessing, updating newly hailed arrivals at the scene. I knew one, though all at odds with recognition in this dicey blackness. She joined our supportive gestures, kneeling over the nearest spilled body splayed supine, cut-faced grimacing intermittent moans - we voiced our group futility; gave assurances "help was on its way". I recall an incongruous Lancashire accent mouthing half-conscious confusion - some off-duty soldier on a tour of duty lying face-up on the BallyKelly road - his and our discontinued night snap-shut to a cold close - and later random gusts somewhere in the dark buffeting our departure in blind billows. ... more u668857 The Personal Space of U668857 Sat, 19 Apr 2008 21:59:09 GMT /section-449-the-personal-space-of-u668857#comments 2 https://dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/comments/post.php/article/8278 https://dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/comments/feed.php/article/8278 https://dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/links/trackback.php?anchor=article%3A8278 https://dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/article-8294-chaotic-string-theory https://dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/article-8294-chaotic-string-theory The strings vibrate,and the electric pulse flows and vibes giving a warming electron glow, like the mists after the big bang.
