Grey

Entwined in wisps of smoke and foam and breath,

a form with no form with a question?

Definite currents and clandestine lovers taking shade

under the pouring tumult of steam and heat.

Lips brimming with pearls of prayers,

and an upside down umbrella to hold...

  1. A lovely, thoughtful voice.
    For someone who writes poetry and appreciates everything from Langston Hughes to Seabiscuit, I offer two more institutions:
    Check out "The Sky is Crying" by Elmore James, the great Chicago bluesman, and Ranier Maria Rilke, a poet of remarkable insight.

    "...time spent in the difficult is always worthwhile."
    Rilke
