the cave dwellers
Running the silt
Through yielding mesh,We find traces
Of creatures prior.
He was traipsing
Like a philanderer
Kissing bosoms
Along the way.She was tapping
Like a prospector
Cupping her ear
To the wall.
He was snapping
Like a mesmerizer
Waking partners
With a drunken start.
She was chasingLike the loyal do
Posting flyers
With a chisel.
He was conjuring
Like a tart jester
Juggling his insults
With composure.
She was insisting
Like an investor
Co-signing her faith
To the birds.
And they settle -These bits of bone and silica -
Stalagmites crashing,
Belly collapsing,
A buried breathing revealingTwo means to one substance.

great poem
hey big bopper…i might be in the carolinas in 2 weeks…you free?
great article about fujimoto… i enjoyed it very much… and also, great writings… keep the inks flowing…
Just noticed you had an Auden quote in your sidebar. Have you by chance read Tuesdays with Morrie? You may like it, you may hate it, but one of the main characters is inspired by Auden. Incredible writing, as always.
this is refreshing. and thanks for scouring out good articles… the connection here’s too slow to really read, so i’ll use this as my mini newspaper. =)
i enjoyed your poem…and i like the second photo…it brings up different emotions…difficult to explain…free/playful/etc…
