carry over time
more about your
common heart-
easy below
blocked by emotions
in case you learn
can’t get enough
blood from the body
can live only a few-
easier in narrow supply
cut off too much inside

see you next year everyone… keep on poeming..
You too! “Can’t get enough / blood from the body” — wow. You’ve got such a talent for expressing the startling, deep image.
Dustin.
Your eye for selection of thought
and your ability to mold them is
Incredible. It has been fun.
See ya soon 🙂
the rhythm of the lines and stanzas captures the interruption
hopefully a variety of breathlengths..
Great to read your inimitable work again this year, Dustin. See you next time, friend.
Dustin, You are one of a kind. I’d say enjoy your quirky, insightful poems — and I do — but really, I enjoy your quirky, insightful everything! It goes way beyond poetry.
this one breaks the heart
and breaks the mold.
the challenges you give
each year is hidden
in the delight of your art
thanks jim, and everyone..
this one felt a bit ‘rushed’ and unresolved…
it was fun this year to work all in erasure, from one source…
as linda called it my ‘heart’ series.. 🙂
Loved the form in this poem! Thanks for sharing your poems and comments with mine! See you next year.
Always complex and interesting. I enjoy your perspective and look forward to hearing more
