Oh that kid...
Bring it on!...
complete dark unpredictable
unfathomable depth
cause I've got this
light...
she's a real being
just about 60 some odd miles away
with some pavement and stoplights, a Starbucks,
three or four towns, a speck on the map
a broad swath of land in between --
a surface I can move across
among a million trees with names, duney mounds
and sand, a lake to either side
and a river or 2 --
that's really all there is between us.
Soon she'll be getting into a car
maybe even barefoot on a summer day with just enough gas
winding along a prayer, a long boyfriend walk and talk for practice and a song
blinking a few times and pulling into my driveway
into my life with its
shadowy, cool constriction,
every offbrand sham
I've accepted as the prize --
till she rushes in with the bright smiling news
I've got it! I found it! Here it is!
... but for now I'll rest in the premonition
completely aware that
I've got this life -- in mine.
She's living out there ...
discovering, dreaming, putting it on pages for people to hear
my niece showing the world who knows what
opening hearts, hers first, stepping into the tall
timeless dance with God, swaying, saying
oh that kid --
bring it on, bring it on

randy,
christopher here, tried to send you folks off an e-mail the other day and met with no success what-so-ever . . .
i am in possession of weird and wonderful news that i would love to be able to share, but am lacking working e-mail addresses, hoping that you still have my address, if so, please send me a message to which i will respond swiftly with the news in question . . .
hoping all is well in your world
christopher
lol,so nice
Although there are differences in content, but I still want you to establish Links, I do not know how you advice!
Read your article, if I just would say: very good, it is somewhat insufficient, but I am
still tempted to say: really good!
