She dances with wheat,
sun-painted,
fire-licking
the lips of sky;
a goddess with
dirt-rouge cheeks,
joining stares
with bark-skin eyes.
She dances…
I dance…
tree-warriors skip
like water-harp gods.
The sun is planted
in the soil of night,
watered with
the sweat-lust of Spring.
Originals are better than remakes.
About Me
- Pat Paulk
- 2009! 57 years ago in April I was a 2# squealing baby boy. Got a wonderful tan in an incubator. Made friends with plastic tubing, needles and tape. All of which I have zero recollection. I've been well watered and fertilized over the years, and grown quite ripe. Plastic tubing, needles and tape are catalysts for flashbacks without the buzz. Enjoy!

And I'm first for yours!!! This poem is amazing. I tried to enter the site you linked but couldn't. It was complicated so I'll come back and try again later. Doesn't matter one bit. Your incredible poem stands on its own. No explanation needed. "The sun is planted in the soil of night, watered with the sweet lust of spring." What abstract and powerful words. I believe this is my favorite of yours so far. I feel a close relation.
that's beautiful & i watch the audio clip...
Inspiring poem! A real DANCE!

The word choice is perfect, Pat!
Lovely images, Pat.
This is absolutely wonderful!
Such a beautiful and apt narration of Spring.
It has pried my heart up from the sticky pit of the work week and has given me wings to dance as well.
Thank you pat!
That's something! I have been looking forever for a website with examples of world music for my class -- you showed me one now! Thanks --
I especially appreciated:
"bark-skin eyes"
"skip like water-harp gods"
