a spirit jungle growing
in the chamber of your mind
casting tangled shadows
your thoughts grow flowers
your thoughts scatter patterns
of light on the walls
deep pools, vast, remain
behind your eyes, in interfaces
that punctuate your silence
all the words you unsay
A quadrille, with De’s suggested word “spirit”, for dVerse.
Love those “tangled shadows,” and the idea of a “spirit jungle.” Wonderful.

I think it’s both/and rather than either/or. Much of life seems to be like that in my experience.

Wonderful–all the words you unsay.
For some reason, I thought of Joni Mitchell with this one–something about the first few lines.
