gray outstretched arms
waving without and within,
a song sent over the ridge
ridge-crest-covering crescendo,
ripping siding from wall-sides
snapping the breath from my dried lips…
face to the ground, face to the ground…….
a glob of bright red acrylic paint
and a whispering, a whispering above my ears
the breath of God came and took her
though the body on the tailgate…
these tears painting are painting her face

His blogs are an account of his adventures, thoughts, eclectic -and eccentric- ramblings, random or insightful poetry, humor and non-humor, pictures (photos), video, essays, fiction, poetic fiction, nonfiction, drama, and writing he has not classified in the description above.
All of his posts from thelostkerryman.wordpress.com, talesinastrangerstrangerland@wordpress.com, everydayasadisciple@wordpress.com, and mrandmrsboring.wordpress.com are copywrited according to international copywrite law.
