To draw a field with markers, to ride a horse in the west (while wearing a vest,)

To draw a field with markers, to ride a horse in the west (while wearing a vest,)

A Poem by Laura Lynn
"

& the hidden meaning of names... på dansk

"

From a point, the Wild West was won, then
Rotations of the earth resume.
Oddness and outstanding valor, the globe
Digs its heels into its corner of the solar system.
I, the tiny pinprick too, can’t see the edge of where
Gilded lilies become ordinary.  I need to know to what extent

Mortally the traveler needs provisions.
Anomalously the traveler sees them.
Rejected, their understanding diminished, I wait
Confessing I was already there, I a frog & saw the great planet.

Mortgages, slips of paper for the old game of Life, the new one an
Anomaly, not as fine as our original brothers and sisters had had them.
Rejoinder of our stupid interfaith, we do not know, we still cannot see how
Confetti asks a question of celebration, what do you have for us here? Cake or tea?

Heaven has sent some doves.  Today the choirs of angels are at odds with China dolls.
Even old women, hide behind their cards and beads and shed a tear for the youth and their men.
Songs of a place, a way to get around the human race, why we didn’t care. We could see our cities,
Talk to our neighbors and ourselves, or our old friends until a chord was broken.

Heaven has sent some doves. Today the choirs of angels are at odds with China dolls.
Even old women, hide behind their cards and beads and shed a tear for the youth and their men.
Songs of a place, a way to get around the human race, why we didn’t care. We could see our cities,
Talk to our neighbors and ourselves, or our old friends until a chord was broken.

As they say, taxes and death … and yet we fight them both… caught up in our own small things … but even small things are miracle when you think … they exist in the vacuum of space:)
