BUSINESS UNUSUAL
She looks away
in search of a safe zone,
a place to feel human,
as men in black suits
intersect from three directions.
They look beyond her
with business as usual stares,
as if she doesn't exist.
Her eyes peer through
starched shirts,
inside their cold stiff hearts,
unmoved, unbound;
then she breaks free.
Her gaze follows
a path of scars,
a spider web of cracked asphalt
and shadows from above.
Only buildings pull in the sun,
the heat transfer
unable to permeate the road.
Thoughts of moonlit skies
warmed her best
until her stars were removed,
one by one;
then coldness came and clutched her,
leaving her lifeless.
Still, today,
her eyes seek salvation
on Fulton Street.

~for what is no more~
limbs dipped in a vase
blindly begging
thriving on water alone
as there is less and less
to hold the petals
still holding bloom from
fading
withering
falling at your feet
as you walk away
hardly noticing
or remembering
the day first plucked
although not so long ago
drunk in the beauty of
for what is no more

I Ain't Never Leaving Reidsville
With no heart to share
my special star,
I stole away to Reidsville
in the night,
through rains,
through thick of fog,
finding there,
in the wee hours of the morning
when all creatures are called away to sleep,
the biggest heart,
wrapped in the tiniest package,
a heart beating fast,
about to burst,
so much love to give
because of me
(or so I thought).
Loosening my heart,
untying the strings holding it,
releasing pieces,
as much as time allowed
before goodbyes;
that's when I heard
those words
told me
(and to the whole world)...
"I ain't never leaving Reidsville."
Understanding,
I left only exhaust fumes behind
for Reidsville,
but...
for one special heart,
that heart that did touch mine,
I left my special star
for worthy hearts to find
or...
as a gift to take
if ever Alison leaves Reidsville.

RETURN TO HEART CAVE
SCRAMBLING DOWN THE MOUNTAINSIDE;
AIR CRACKLING THROUGH CLOUDS OF DUST;
FEARED ALIEN OF EVIL HEARTS;
ANGERED INTO BATTLE, HE MUST.
A MONSTROUS CREATURE, WIDE TIGER-EYES,
SPARKS TRAILING FROM HIS TAIL;
SUMMONSED BY A WORLD OF NOISE,
TO PURGE, HE SHALL NOT FAIL.
DESCENDING UPON THE VILLAGE BELOW,
THUNDERING ON WITH DEADLY FORCE,
THE MOST INTERESTING OF DRAGONS
PIERCES DARKNESS, SCOPES HIS COURSE.
SORTING TRUTHS FROM FALSITIES
IN THOSE SOUGHT, HE SENSES FEAR;
HOT ENERGY STREAMING DOWN HIS SCALES;
SPARING A FAIR MAIDEN OH SO NEAR.
LOUDLY SOUNDING HIS WARNING,
MOMENTUM BUILDING WITHOUT REMORSE;
LIGHT PULSATING, NOSTRILS SPEWING,
HE LUNGES FORWARD TOWARDS THE SOURCE.
THROUGH A MIST OF CONFUSION, THE MAIDEN SEES,
ACCEPTING THE TRUE NATURE OF BEAST SO BOLD;
HER PURE HEART IS STIRRED ONLY BY HIS WARMTH,
AS THE DETAILS OF VICTORY CAN NOW BE TOLD.
SCOURING EVIL, THE DRAGON SCREAMS SUCCESS;
MAIDEN PRAYING THAT HE BE KEPT SAFE;
HER SMILES OF THANKFULNESS FOLLOW HIM
THROUGH HIS TRAILS HOME TO HIS HEART CAVE.

Hi Cherri,
Yes and no
Dads back in hospital on anti-biotics he's 84 and has emphysema,
so I think it's just a matter of time before he can't take anymore.
(I can't think of anything worse than gasping for every breathe you take.)
As for the weather we had a couple of good downpours on Friday,
as for your hurricane I'd say you where very lucky - I've seen what they can do!!
Enough of my worries~ How are you?
Take Care
