dedalus Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 When the air is cold and the seas are rough, we spend more time, as a rule, on Fingerspitzgefuehl than any other bluff. At an abrupt break in the land (where the young ragge´d cliffs now stand) a rising, falling moan can be heard, in echo to every sound and word. And it was there I came on Friday and stood by the fish fires that each and every hut requires. and thought this was my day , just as Monday can double for Sunday, and Tuesday is a Blues Day, Wednesday a coffee blends Day, Thursday a curséd day and and Friday all my own. O, O, Duc de Angouleme, of burnished unforgotten fame, share with me this ratatouille unknown as the moon comes sliding out to join the evening, to shake and shimmy about above, in an inky sky of love, (deceiving more than one dreamer and schemer) as the clarinets clarinize and trumpets theorize alone and lonely in navy heaven.

dcmarti1 Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 Emotive, kinda made me sad: (deceiving more than one dreamer and schemer) Maybe cuz I be A'murkin, but this does read as something that ONLY a European could write. That's probably why you stuff usually hits me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dedalus Posted May 22, 2015 Author Share Posted May 22, 2015 Thanks, dc, for the comment. This is something I am trying to break since everything I write has a tendency to be Euroceentric, even a poem about the Mississippi river (written under water).
