Reported Speech

the third of january saw this;

the moon is a stone in the sky

and the night of stencil of light,

the rain an error of clouds

and the stars a coda of cats,

this day told me...

you are hidden behind your face,

all your words are coded like scripts,

your body is full of lines:

you are paged inside yourself

Yes. So much yes. These are the words I was seeking today.

such an excellent write about writing and how it is such a part of us...
as Melanie sang..."I am not a poet, living is the poem"

but it really means we are the poem...poet and poem are one...and we are the lines ready to be drawn on the page.

if you are the Shaman i want to talk to you...if not please tell me who you talked to ;))))) your descriptive language of the moon at that time was not what i saw nor felt ..so the contrast is instant as i read .. if i went out and saw that sky i think i would have gone right back to bed ;)))))
Jan. 1st .. the biggest super moon of the year and also the wolf moon ... another super moon coming up on the 31 and so a blue moon ...but also in eclipse so will be discolored ... unfortunately not red or it would be a blood moon ... i must know where this poem came from sir ;) or will you be cursed if you tell :))) i like it a lot .. went into me library right away
