it is an unlikely animation
a milky cartoon
free seeming
yet
secured by
ribbons
connected to indigo chariots
the colour
not the speed
provided by snails or gods
you know,
with
glowing shells
BUT
remember please
we are more than shell
we are the red gold life that flourishes in coral and floats
bouyed on salt
singing
and squealing
we are fertility
coating the sun and disappearing
only
momentarily

great stuff !! just a small take that I caught is that the female is more than just a shell.

yes, the female IS and on a deeper note that we are all more than a body and on that level of thinking are free of all the constructs that are connected or because of our body… we are a mind …of universal proportions!

You have such an instinctive approach to poetry that’s so inspiring, you seem to have found the bridge between knowing and feeling and I’m always happy to cross it too when I read your poems.

oh thank you, a very interesting way of putting it … i do feel sort of like I know what I am talking about based on the feeling I am having as I write but when I put my human mind back in and read the poetry I have to smile at the illogical nature of it all… x
