illocal

not just in one place . everywhere
maybe to and fro . to find the trees
falling into their shadows . light in
unseen grades and still faults

if at all why would this stop?

Re: illocal

to find itself

Re: illocal

maybe

Re: illocal

on the other side of this and that
and to and fro
in undersides and in betweens
and after alls
and said and dones
in filament and firmament


as above
so below

Re: illocal

there in the darkness
shifting in the branches
some hidden, knowing
being waiting to be seen

Re: illocal

jenni that could be me you are talking about . have to let the *knowing being* go though :–)

the tags of grandeur, of history
the myth of largesse for us
to shrink , reduced to two locals
since we are near. we are busy

thats understandable . i have nothing
to do with any of it . but iam thinking -
shall i stand up or stand down
it depends . are you interested ?

Re: illocal

we stand on the doorstep
of bliss or catastrophe
every time the door is opened
the red door with white mouldings

because we are door openers
because our nature is not to turn away from doors
despite the thriller movies with something unknown behind them
we still will turn the handle

how can the scorpion refuse to sting?
how can the water refuse to fall?
how can we leave doors closed?
stand up. don't stand down.

Re: illocal

islandmans will, will be done :–)

alone in the dark .elements bristling
enveloping the shelter . elements
punctuated with a sharp living surge
aloof, predatory and unforgiving

miniature or hidden . alien to
 nurtured flesh . water
drumming on the roof, flowing
outside in  a rush

a rush that reveals something
to this alien. its headed
past any stops. it has the heart
to clean dark images

Re: illocal

string notes tingly, spreading on the sill
and wall covers. wet drips soak tone
edges near wood , as they fall off the
mesh into glitzy stone and verandah mud

strewn leaves and petals allow them flow
arching not cringing . this cottage finds
a dormant pulse with its draw of silence
towing human touch damp with october rain

Re: illocal

this is more than a seaweed bath!!! its the hurricane

Re: illocal

Fur Elise and Amazing Grace
coaxed from ivory with newbie toes
yellow red gold orange leafy face
floating, dervish wind, dancing now

Re: illocal

a hurricane
the gossamer kiss
of seaweed on my face
shimmering wings in Brazil
unfolding

Re: illocal

flavors that smile !! a treat from
ayla and rudyan from still seas
(cos dervish winds and wings
 from brazil dont leave traces )

:)

Re: illocal

I can't be of any help to you on identifying the bird, Valli, but what a beauty!  It looks like it could be in the hawk family with that curved beak and those eyes!  Let us know if you figure out what it is … or does anyone else know? 

Re: illocal

I was thinking hawk too although it looks kind of small.
hey vallihoo
