hi Cad,

this one feels like two poems, mostly because of the way you've rhymed the last 2 stanzas. I like the metaphors you use in the first half as well, but then you drop them when you go into love-mode. is there some way you can meld these disparate halves?

nope. i think it's a great idea, in fact.

the sounds in these first 5 stanzas are gorgeous!!

the last two stanzas don't pack the punch the first 5 do.

this is a weak simile:

til all they heard from me was silence
like a silent willow tree.

all in all, you weaken the poem when you resolve it. ood, that.


i like this.

the ending is quite lyrical, cad, but somehow the rest falls short.

suggestion:


I want to tell you I fear
falling into religion--just for a scaffold
of proper nouns, greetings, expansive gestures;
to be as-one with these waiting women--pause,
glance knowingly at a departure lounge
ceiling loudspeaker, and hear.

does that mean what you're looking for?

november is cold, but decmber is colder still, is what i was going for. there are also the holidays to consider, although that analogy is very abstruse.

and yes, i am lathing into firewood. i wonder if my love is wasted on him.

thank you for the compliment.

we shall see.
he's been known to wax philosophical on occasion.

the chips, when split off from the whole, become new entites, as i read it. they're holographic; each piece contains the whole, a new whole, when separated from the mass consciousness.
