fathom
by Ginette T Bellei wish i could trust you
but the indigio sky is too weak
to carry the heavy, liquid-filled clouds
separating the earth beneath us
from the steaming chai heavens
too mystical i am
sitting right there with them
on candle lit, red silk patios
and chocolate raspberry desserts
the ring
there waiting to be eaten
loyal...eternity fixed on a cashmere pillow

I think it's wonderful, a great display of distrust no matter the reason. |

| Posted by Siri Lipscomb on 11/20/03 at 11:21 PM Trust is such an elusive thing. But you can trust your inner voices, because they seem to be right on. Are you listening to them? Oh, and I agree with James about the 4th line edit suggestion. |

wish I could trust you" could be left out...Charlie |
