"The Madness Vase" by Andrea Gibson
I have most of Ms. Gibson's books on CD as she's such an incredible slam poet, but this one is amazing in print, and I think this is her best book yet. 'Gravity' is my favorite short poem in the book.
Gravity
By Andrea Gibson
We wear our traumas
the way the guillotine
wears gravity.
Our lovers' necks
are so soft.
From: "The Madness Vase"

Spring is in full swing here in the swamp at Casa Dragonfly. Winter forgot us completely this year. Now if only spring fever will kick my ass in gear. I hope wherever you are, you're enjoying beautiful weather. Time for me to go and hang my Hummingbird feeders now. Take care....
Love & Hugs,
Marion

Wow - that really packs a punch to be so short! I like it!
I'm loving the warmth, but oh, the mosquitoes are out in full force!!!
Well, I just guess she was pretty darned pleased when she wrote that!
Yes, Spring. It's here too, at least in the part of Oregon that catches the winds off the ocean.
