I searched for you when I was young
among yellow weeds and oil wells
beyond cliff edges and found you
buried beneath brown leaves
with mushrooms and black earth
I sat with you amidst mossy trees,
birch and sycamore above the creek,
stealing away chore time hours
just to hear your voice,
soft as bird songs,
strong as thunder,
I whispered my love
while lying there in ferns
staring up at you
feeling you
inside
and
out
Now, they tell me
you were never real
because they can’t see you,
but I think
maybe they are blind.

fennel and lettuce wheat and barley
grown in the gardens of Athenian woman who belong to the mysteries
to remind them of how quick the passing is of his life and beauty
I was recently at his birthplace considered to be Smyrna
it’s a sad place I looked and passed through quickly
Greek ghosts both ancient and modern linger in this place now called izmir
I like this work
I like all the suggestions the subtle feelings the work engages in
gods die when they are forgotten which is why most people don’t see them
reality is an interesting concept for most it’s a consensus
but you see beyond this veil hence my mountain comments
since I last commented everything went wrong
severe thunderstorms and rain
my server keeps going down
my tendon snapped in my ankle again [in a cast now removed]
and to boot I ended up with a middle ear infection that closed my eye
nose and swelled up the gland s in my throat
just to let you know I had not forgotten you or your work
as odd as all the above might sound

Jack,
Thank you so much for your words. I love especially this from you:
gods die when they are forgotten which is why most people don’t see them
That line is a poem itself.
I hate to hear about your server being so messed up but especially about your ankle and that horrible middle ear infections. Those things can be just awful! I hope you are better soon and that the thunderstorms will wane.

Long time lurker, thought I would say hello! I really dont post much but thanks for the good times I have here. Love this place..
When I was hurt in that automobile accident my life would be changed for good. Unfortunately that driver had no car insurance and I was going to be in pain for ever.
This was not time for me to start and guess what to do. I had to find a good accident lawyer to help me get what I needed. After all, my family was counting on me.
How dreadful was it? I has bedridden for 9 months, I had to have constant care and my clinic bills went through the roof!
Thank goodness, I found a good referral site to help me.
I will post more later this period to tell you more about what I have been going through.
If you need an accident lawyer try the guys at accident lawyers
