Other side of the leaf
Tan waters
the other side of the leaves
the taste of coffee and late morning sex
dogs scratching at the door the whole time
Whining now, they want to go down to the beach
my legs feel cold in the musty cottage
sandals still wet from last night’s rain
email messages piling up back at home
most of them ads for herbal Viagara . erectus .com
Answering machine blinking with messages
I don’t care
Diet coke and the president’s decadent chocolate chip cookies roiling in my gut
last night’s wine tugging just a little at my skin
extended family members already fed and entertained
only the possible visit of friends to consider
five more days to go

An esoteric message is revealed through the lines of this outstanding symbolistic and surreal composition, for on the
"Other side of the leaf" - clear water washes out the dust of the mystery, - and the whole picture of what is lacking is shown.
Keep posting, Poet! Let the world see the colors of Your words.
