*LISTENING Poetry is so strange; like a stiletto sharp moon it shines our hearts with midnight wonders. And, by its glow I read, **"our deep cosmic loneliness and our starboard hearts where love careens, we are listening, the small bipeds with the giant dreams."** *** *Yes D.A., we are listening to the pulsar songs played in the universe. We are listening for others, who just may be listening for us.* *** *Seduction is like this you know; subtle, uncertain, even fragile at times; yet irresistable as Lilacs beckoning the moon. Seduction is also a summer down pour we willingly get caught in, jumping greedily in puddles, laughing, just happy to be together. We listen to the patterns water splashing made; listen for others to hear what they have to say, even if they were many galaxies away.* *** *We listen. We wait, but not idly. We listen, write poetry sharp, like a stiletto moon. And, under its midnight glow, hold hands.* *NOTE: the bold quoted lines are from a poem called "We Are Listening", by Diane Ackerman found in her book entitled "Jaguar of Sweet Laughter".* Aztec Warrior
