Neil, thanks! I’m glad you enjoyed, this one is not my typical style, but it was fun to work on!

"stitched together

in each

different past,

human and snake,

forest and lake,

when known

quilt of kin

is one mast."

Wow! Playful yet perfect.

I’ve been thinking of the truth of eyes lately so I went, whoa, when i opened your poem. There’s truth there. Thanks, you two, for this series.
