all bound
by Betania Teschexhale and
become
lighter than air
touch
the top of
the sky and
shatter
jagged pieces
falling and
piercing
through your skin
and fusing to your
fingertips
and we are bound
and touching
together
before shattering
and combining elements
again. 12/23/2002 Author's Note: Oh, goddess, listen to JD Vernon's We Are All Bound
the hardest part of me is you...

When you touch the ice, it can cling to your skin and you become one with the irregular, crystal mass of it, bound by elements of Earth and Earthlings. I liked this one, Bethany. |

After all SEEING is what philosophy is all about. Well, let me say that you have succeeded in SEEING as well as producing the SCENE as SEEN. |
