Visiting hours......

They beckoned my down the hallway. Into that room. There she lay, belly up on the cold stainless steel table. Exposed. Parts and life-wires everywhere. "She can still breathe?" I ask. "We're doing all we can".....sympathy smile spreading on his teenage face. "We'll call you in the morning...."

Miss you guys, here's to hoping the little computer can come home again.....Gotta love modern technology.....

Her shout keens from the dark,
while all are listening
for the sound of a ghost

She
is
alive

She will rise,
despite lightning
forking down
in strobe motion--
a snake's
tongue
flicking the air
with ungoddly abandon

She is alive--
Her life
shows in relief
against death's
ancient bones
and black boots

She is alive

She is alive!

Tonight, the dead will rise:
Somebody tell Lazarus
to stay in bed with the wife
Somebody tell the angels
to take down the pyre
and please
Somebody ask Jesus
to explain sin one more time
to his ignorant children
while they listen beyond
for more sounds of life
to rip through the veil

She is alive--
Lightening is her blood
Her voice is the spectrum

Listen to a miracle;
flowering resurection,
bare feet walking slowly
from the grave
footpints one by one
and one step
is the print of a woman
the other
a print of her soul

no holy ghost smiles
in free verse
like she

alive

In that way,
light was born of bitter night's
embrace

let it be

and it will again

Sing!

So let it be written, so let it be done. The writing on the virtual wall will soon be yours once more. Hope you like this wickedly sharp little somewhat religious poem that I've now edited for last time. Hope it's true.

Silent prayers of the heart rise from Detroit and the world over for the sake of your art and words.

Cink! Tink!

eric...."let it be and it will again"...... Can't wait to get back on the city block, to the miles and miles of concrete walls...feels like I've been standing at the bus stop for days, with nothing but a ball point pen and the shell of an empty pay phone boothe to scribble on!

drips...Believe me! I'm gonna kiss her!

SLB.....DTs! You got it baby!

peace~love~maybe tonight's the night they let her fly!

eric313... I know I'm not the first to tell you or the last. I just gotta say, you have an amazing way of writing so sensual and deep but at the same time light n fluffy like whip cream & jello! YUMMY~ So Soulful you are~ Words flow from you like Singletons Art flows from her heart n soul you both are very gifted.

Me said...

Missing you more!

eric1313 said...

Singleton, you rock

Lotusblossom51
you rock, too. That's Singleton's special effect. She's a long lost frined I can write to and just with. She knows that this writing is my heart and soul--and her art and her awesome, beautiful words and wild ideas and metaphors and symbols are the same thing to her. She can write lines back with the best of them. That's what I like. I need to send her some books with my cutoffs and old jeans.
