A place to gather words before they get lost.

With a brittle breeze, a light wind freezes the skin - on a walk, again

for Algot

Erratic Muse, here at these intersections, you lead us into chaos through the uncertain complexity of artistic collaborations

where we tap into these odd engines of possibility, a poetic inquiry into uncanny engagement,

wandering the fault lines, we look to amuse, and to muse on the scope of human agency

Moisture rainbows, trapped in rinds, dance in the air with a single slice of knife

for DS106 *Lemon Poem

Fissures on surface, thin ice singing under weight of changed conditions

A deep winter's sigh — remembering daydreaming beneath a spring sky

Coins dropped down a wishing well

oh, the fortunes that well could tell

for MastoPrompt

Flowerless, but not powerless,

these ample fronds of ferns, whose veins sprout,

spread out like a vast green bed of the wood -

we rest here, nestled among Earth's oldest plants,

knowing this is where the past once stood

for MastoPrompt

Hammer horn pounding soul marks on unswinging gates

from Walking Parker Home by Bob Kaufman https://poets.org/poem/walking-parker-home

look at what notes make, a propulsion of sound pushing at the seams

never one to sit and wait, he's soaring again, edging into shadow dreams

take a breath, Bird, and hesitate, for a blue note minute, a skip upon a scale

it's tumbling in, no mistake, the ground is gone; this flight, a songbird's tale

the tune your bones play as you keep going ...

from Lines of Winter by Mark Strand https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/50977/lines-for-winter

You used to call us a walking Xylophone, a set of bones on which mallets might play softly through days of motion; tendons, the strings, an ocean, weaving our skeletal form together, wooden blocks forever tuned to rhythm and pulse

On the radio, Roy croons Only The Lonely in the key of me
