I love these:
"M...Stunning, as always, Grace.<br /><br />I love these:<br />"My hands are a keeper of words"<br />"Underneath the labor of tiny leaves"<br />"I eye / waning hours"<br /><br />"as I tangle with dark comedy" ... Because of this extended line, this is the first time I've realized that inside of "comedy" is "Come, Edie," which for me is about Edie Brickell, whom I LOVE. So you can look for some Edie tunes on my blog, very soon. ;)<br /><br />I flipping LOVE this:<br />"I am a weaver who stitches and flits<br />sad corners" ... especially how you changed the meaning with what follows the line break.<br /><br />"We women are embroidered with an open heart.<br />Sun holds our faces as chalices." ... This is inspiring. And oh so beautiful.<br /><br />My eyes went twitchy on the ending and read, <br />"Don't moan<br />or paste our fate. We are not cased in stone."<br /><br />I love kindergarten paste. Remember, with the little sticks? SO yummy to swirl around and play with. :)✿https://www.blogger.com/profile/01044032159371976375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4856662679041828863.post-29985063851095604892016-03-12T07:43:59.982-05:002016-03-12T07:43:59.982-05:00This is stunning!
