Poem Four in A Series: "Adrienne"
Poem Four in A Series: "Adrienne" Stripped you're beginning to float free up through the smoke of brushfires and incinerators the unleafed branches won't hold you nor the radar aerials You're what the autumn knew would happen after the last collapse of primary color once the last absolutes were torn to pieces you could begin How you broke open, what sheathed you until this moment I know nothing about it my ignorance of you amazes me now that I watch you starting to give yourself away to the wind "November 1968" by Adrienne Rich ------- She tells us cotton-flannel whispers of Thirsty thighs, sticky, with drowsy eyes Thrusts a black-blue ball of pungency Unraveled like some yarn, rolling out I have no idea if the other was ever told – Scent of shaved filings, rank motor oil Bathed echoes the chamber ghosts of Filaments and iron fishing lures, cascade The scaling flash, that spawning wetness Taking, taking, an exploration of pain - An olfactory expansion calling, blossoming up From the balled up-sheets and her fingers Seeking…placement of her tongue exact Amazing, how sudden the scent boiling came - Her mouth hovered, wild and delicate – at last Resting in the recesses, weaving words to The glow of a barn owl’s ocular precision The other ceased to be, and both collapsed -Mariana Trench |

Thanks! I will pop to the drug store tomorrow for my doctor-perscribed meds, but I am feeling much better already! Today I did major blog-housekeeping, as I am sure you saw. Tomorrow will be actual housekeeping blah blah! xoxox MT

Yeah I know. I am sorry. Things have been rough. Since December 15th or so, I have been pretty sick. Also, I've had a run of bad luck with my technology. First late Nov., my PC died. Then my phone began to have problems. Then I got a new laptop but it was network protected, so I could only be a guest - could not add programs etc. That got fixed over Christmas, because we swept it back to factory-new, wiping out the old stuff, including my router drivers. I could go on, but you see the problems...finale was my router AND my modem died. All seems to be well now - new laptop, new phone, new modem, new router....crazy MT lacking time and energy and money to fix it faster. Very annoying. Aren't you glad you asked? LOL XO MT/E

Not many people here 'get me' as well as you do. I am blessed to know you. Peace, generous helpings of holiday treats, beautiful crystalized snowflakes, and all kinds of love to you and yours this season, my wonderful friend. XOX MT (E)

You are very sweet. I wonder if anyone will suspect I am depressed for the holidays, given these poems and their content? In fact, I don't think I am - but then again, I'm an artist and a poet, so aren't I supposed to be a bit bleak and torrid? Hope your holiday is sparkly and full of debauching - snookie. MT
