in diluted gardens my flowers grow

and forever follow if

so shallow

we can feel the stones between our toes

but vowels

and

constrictictions

leave the minnows eating

the stubbed digits

dead dials

decaying matters?

 

nothing anymore

but salty fishing poles

lines extended beyond weight

 

but grease the reel

 

hemingway and minnows know

~ fishing is very tough sometimes... ~ this is an exquisite piece of poetry... i especially love the following lines...

"we can feel the stones between our toes

~ "stubbed digits"... "dead dials"... "decaying matters"... speak volumes about the loss of emotion and emotional connections...
