her limbs are all sky her body inhabited by wild birds and busy mammals—
an endangered species.
she lost her head where reason gives the impression everything is clear.
she motions to dance a rhythm spins and turns attracted to light.
if she had eyes I would see the stars she holds dear.
then there are all the words she escapes slips past their curved
seashell ears as they listen to capture her
on the page. my words are already changing her
while she weaves gossamer and soft moss to hang
in autumn woods.

Here is a collaboration between me and my awesome computer savy guy.
That’s really great. Thanks!
Thanks Rob,
and thanks to all of you, who in one way or another, found time to give me feedback.
Really appreciated, especially when one hangs by the tenuous thread of words.
