what to say to the spithit who just spith upon you:

by Elizabeth Jill






They are not mine, these feelings that you hurt.

They're property of Ancients.

And you are tromping on their earth.















The dust of which we are made is infinitely ancient. Like slow moss. A memory that breathes. -Jill

Why do I find humour in the picture of ancient moss fighting back? Go Girl. Go.

Everything we feel is of the great collective The Human that is outside of time and spiraling through are minds. Thus we spit on ourselves. Great read.

I had to look for a poem that I hadn't read. This one's perfect! Sometimes others can be so unaware. Phooey, they'll get theirs. ;-)

your poetry is a stair, in which one does not fatigue oneself in climbing, but there are springs in every step, and the doozy on the top, catapults you to a cloud.
