I kiss you
with a mouth
of river hurricane
the fiddle she gave you
crushed by my wild waves .
you took her
to this same place
the crown of Lake Superior
her wedding veil
floating
you did not see
deception in her curls
destroying you .
I am not another
with her eyes blind
I wonder do you
hear my accordion
the one I don’t
even know how to play .
You took me
to another same place
your heart cuts wonder
into my breath
the sigh of
your names together
carved like burning
tatoos into Cedar towns
storage barn
freezing
my words to silence
my dress of purple moaning
falls from the
branches of my shoulder
snapped by her sly scent
of flowers when crushed
that reside in wounds
you cannot hide .
the gods descent
watch me fall apart
walk on , walk on
I wonder do you
hear my accordion
the one I don’t
even know how to play .

You need not know how to play it, Meg, but one can hear the accord in your accordion, and it’s rousing notes will linger in the inner recesses…warm wishes your way.. Raj.

The silent accordion, the wounds that cannot be hidden, and the places that were the same, but sang out of tune– places that were not quite right– they all leave the air rich with questions. From the comments, I hope the smoke rising here is not too thick, and the sun burns through to you with its clear light. Your writing and your images together continue to evoke the sensations of places we’ve all been… places where misplaced parts of ourselves may linger still… trying to figure out the purpose of that dusty accordion…
Much Love,
Michael

I have not been commenting or visiting blogs this month as I get my writing project finished, but the images on this so arrested me when I opened it, that I have held onto it. This is truly so powerful. That first image went right down to my belly and pulled me right into your piece.
