    raven blues

    it is pouring hell tonight
    mixing the memories
    with seeds of half forgotten neglect

    uniting a night
    with "no line is sacred"

    it is dark on the wing tonight
    kissing the bruised lips
    where smiles meet the end

    recruiting sentiment
    with the taste of tears

    then she played me music over the phone
    music cut by two diamond saws
    wounding me with distant laughing remorse
    about leaving this and then chicago
    where someone else sent music over the phone
    music cast inside the heart of law
    where i was healed with coffee, strong and course

    and it is still pouring hell tonight
    sifting the flesh and feathers
    as the lightning strikes sound

    brusing the waters
    binding us ravens here to there

    ramona, brightly defiled
    allow me to gently cut
    your rainy raven hair

    "raven blues" is a well titled and articulated piece of magic my friend! I loved it! It reads slow and soulful with that gritty edge just like the blues. It is "pouring hell here tonight" too...so it fits the mood!

    thank you friend. wow such a nice compliment!

    In science one tries to tell people, in such a way as to be understood by everyone, something that no one ever knew before. But in poetry, it's the exact opposite.

    Franz Kafka (1883-1924) Czech writer.
