poem: these wanting few



if I were blue

as I frequently am,

dawn of a remnant wind,

pregnant ocean rump

in my lungs, son

of estuary,

orphaned, lost,

found, this stew

a miserable

sequestration,

an amber

gift to the vagrant night.

she asked after you,

found wanting

desire most blessed, these

wanting few,

wanting less

wanting the last note

down the line:

a single digit,

plea to gather

the blue you

carry, the blue

you mine,

the blue that begs

the question

in each & every

wine.

Love it when you sings the blues, bro: "the blue you carry, the blue you mine, the blue that begs the question in each & every wine."

The video with pianos and vocals about 'darkest, darkest indigo' just enhances the mood. Makes me see the 'pregnant ocean rump.' (love that phrase)

T: I was looking for another take on "Norwegian Wood" last night on YouTube: P Barber's version more than fit the bill. Went on a bit of a PB tear from there on. Same initials as mine, and a Scorpio to boot.

Best to you, girl.

Gotta love those PB Scorpios. And Scorpio is soon rising, no? Your birthday week will be upon you in no time. Got any plans?

Gotta love, is right. Too soon for plans: the Black Rose's - Tina's - birthday is next Saturday. Scorp ain't allowed to stomp on the Libran time.

Ah. I was under the impression that she was a Scorpio, too; instead she's like my dad and baby bro... the scales of justice type. Is one of her nicknames Mat?

One Scorp in the house is enough, I'm sure. Don't want to overdose on narcissism. Walden's due date was the last day of Scorp: smart boy swam two more weeks on into Sagittarius.
