Cricket

I think I've finally fallen into it

or maybe I've just gone mad

Maybe I've just become the reflection of

this cricket

The chirping ancillary

water sounds

Beads of will-berries

beads of silkworm

Drooped leaflets swirling 

I think I may have finally gone mad

reached far further than I should have

But, perhaps

maybe not far enough

Maybe I've only caught a glimpse

into the long-legged carcass of this cricket

Perhaps these chirping water sounds 

beads of priests in kneeless ancillaries 

Not large enough to 

fill the oceans

Not sound enough to 

fill this silence

But then

one good honest rain oughta do it

I've sought you in the doldrums. Here you are waiting for rain and I for wind. I'm leaning into the ancillary, listening for the chirping and squinting for the beads.
But perhaps
one perfect storm will right us both

Well in the middle of writing back to you my phone would mad as well,, seems like everyone this morning has gone mad which doesn’t bother me at all. It’s just her jealousy and insanities… No one on the side mind you but does seem a little crazy. So I will reconsider all the options and come back a little while later with fresh peanut butter whiskey and we’ll sit up on the hill and discuss what it is this is all about, me shaking off the rest of turmoil and but I’d still like to climb up Old Rag and engaged to those eyes to make sure she hasn’t lost it as well!!I was saying the rust offrfre I go when I was a yeah well everything’s going with that plans so it’s the end oftbrcxworld as we know afeel fines hacking off the rust of turmoil in slobbering off the time as I Masterthat’s just the way we gather our senses into genius … I don’t believe that many people understood that poem yet I do believe the site may be filled with wanna be wannabes… hahaha! . It does strike me as quite funny how all boats that speak in prose are left out to hang at certain times, but nothing good solid rain won’t cure 😏. We were built you and I for the next generation which perhaps maybe AII? Until then we just have to keep trying and of course I mean I have to keep trying over and over until the words come back again. As far as you’re concerned, there’s nothing for you to do shy of continue writing. Wonderful to have met you as you bring great inspiration into the sprain pan. Thank you Jo and as I told Miranda don’t forget the doors are always open here so we can like candles and speak a poetry

But where have the words gone? I love open doors and candles as much as the next hopeful poet, but tell me about the words. I'll wait on the hill. Take your time...it looks like rain.

The words haven't gone Jo, my heart has, and I've not anywhere just the little things of life like death and poverty of heart...I lost a friend to suicide and he's not ever coming home. Days are carved out into the soil, solid and painful. I"m just being a dick and I've not enough room left to wallow. I'm sorry Jo...I won't go anywhere... I keep my promises and people lie for their struggles and reasons, I have no reason to be a jerk...He slipped into the car and spun the bottle of helium till all of his beautiful madness was gone and now ...well now life just well less. . I would never do such a thing but he did and now he's left me behind to live., sometimes it just be that way ya know and I've absolutely no reason to be a jerk other the pain will have wait Your sweet to ask and I'm just lying here in my substations and I have not a reason to be a jerk

[Joli Dy]

No apology could contain what I feel in response to what you've just said. I'll offer the pitifully inadequate thing anyway. I'm so sorry.

Well I do blame you completely as it was your fault… Lol. Yes I actually put lol which should tell you exactly where I’m at. Thank you Jo! Believe it or not it does mean a lot coming from you and time and walks as I told someone else but I’ve been doing a lot of walking and a lot of time has gone by so guess was to wait and see. Your poetry helps! A lot your poetry helps so thank you for that and thank you for bringing me back here that’s not something I think anybody could’ve done other than you and your poetry❤️
