Thanks for the translation. Good luck with the roots, whatever fruit may be borne. There's obviously something deep and churning going on. I've said it before, poets and urges should not be allowed to go together without a chaperone.

The roots are taking hold, but no blossoms yet. "To leave a promise on burning lips" "I long to calm your madness/With loves lies"

If it reminds me of any Beatle it's George - 'Within You Without You', that kind of thing.

Christof on One Country by poetandknowit 15 Oct 2002, 9:38 AM

I'm sorry, I don't know enough Spanish (or indeed any Spanish) and so parts of this are completely opaque to me. But then I guess it's not for me, is it Mrs God? How things have blossomed since I've been away! Oh and happy birthday P&K - I turn 29 next week.

Christof on Rummage Sales by jessicazee 15 Oct 2002, 9:35 AM

I like the progression of this from street to street - there's something very solemn about the ending, the seriousness of leisure.

I didn't really get the last stanza til last night. Good job. I thought you were speaking only of your losses and then I saw it. Will you have that scar on your chin forever?

poetandknowit replying on One Country by poetandknowit 15 Oct 2002, 9:29 AM

I was trying to let the poem speak for itself. And my body aches from a long weekend to the point where I could not work yesterday and thus was away from you.

Delightful.

No te mandes la parte, si me entiendes. Why no replies?

Yo no entiendo completamente la pregunta.

Cheers you guys although i do find the occasional slanging match amusing

Amelia on AIDS Bonanza! by -=Dark_Angel=-, P.I. 15 Oct 2002, 8:12 AM

LOL! I come in after a brief spell and you blast me with this maggot(AIDs)infected poem. Your rhyming rocks! As much as I want to give this a zero for grave generalization on your part, I'll add a 1 before the zero.

Christof on a t i m e by daniella 15 Oct 2002, 8:02 AM

You really know how to write about loss and longing. This one brings back all kinds of lost moments for me and I can feel exactly what you mean. I think your poems are great and this is my favourite.

Christof on words our Father by daniella 15 Oct 2002, 8:00 AM

What is the madness? The faith or the doubt of the faith? I don't quite get this.

Christof on cornered invitation by daniella 15 Oct 2002, 7:58 AM

Very good - really rather erotic, i find, in a blitzed out way. Should 'them on the corner' be 'they'? Never mind. I love the sweat and the flesh of this.

Christof on where once by daniella 15 Oct 2002, 7:56 AM

I like the transformation imagery and the idea of life changing and the constant drive of fertility.

Christof on our morning bed by daniella 15 Oct 2002, 7:54 AM

This is great. I'm really enjoying your stuff, Daniella. The fragility of these images catches at the throat.

Christof on unlucky by rosiebailey 15 Oct 2002, 7:52 AM

You could at least have rhymed the third couplet! You have an unfortunate life. Are you still a man?

Christof on why i look like a man by rosiebailey 15 Oct 2002, 7:49 AM

Rosie - this is the future. Youa re a visionary.

Christof on simple silence by daniella 15 Oct 2002, 7:38 AM

Oh yes, this is great. pared down to the finest possible point.
