darkness presses up

this window glass

 

music from beneath me plays

voices from the main room speak

 

my body aches

its age

weaknesses

and fault lines

 

rust gathers

wild flowers grow

 

when i lay awake

with my music singing

will it be you i dream of

standing

on that stretch of time

a great eclipse’ shadow

so dark and cool

 

when i touch your hand

and feel your smoothness

to know your real

 

in my illusion

 

i close my eyes and see

you still

your rain stained patterns

and pale rouge

 

i must stop this

exorcise

 

..O..

rust

dear Orgami old pal Just me Orgami the other
wondering about your terms sometimes old lad
Rust seems to appear a lot
is this from Rust from Neil Young??
“well actually Orgami-the-other i just
love rust period rust is the patina the
finish the crumbs of time so to speak
when one brushs rust or handles something of
age one picks up rust sometimes Rust is a
marker of being of wisdom in an elder
it just makes me feel joy to see rust
maybe that sounds zany but its true rust
is King in my poems…”

well thank you Orgami
i think this has answered somewhat my question
(actually it has opened up a hundred more but..)
