- "the fact that the energy is 'coiling' seems it is sentient in itself , waiting to be aroused and strike ... the bottom of a quiver ( near the arrow tips ) is a fine place for it to lie along with other points of power and it comes for walks with you... s-s-s-surreptitiously... I got the sense of older folks perhaps couples whose combined energy and strength is that of a sleepy almost hibernating snake...this energy tracks each like a comforting surveillance... heh...I'm way off , right? ... thanks for baffling me :)"

- "the symbolic exchange of death, as baudrillard would have us think... maybe, the subconscious, as lacan would... the big O, even.... and then there's derrida... the corruption of conscious, fraught with contradiction and assumption, this telephone call, this transmission in word, can we blame ourselves fully if something's lost in transmission? and is that larger picture ever complete... thanks for the thoughtful words."

- "You guys are lovely with your feedback and close readings! Thank you to all three of you. I was picturing the roommate of my mother's during a rehab stint in March. the lady had the most wonderful skin and eyes and smile. She seemed like someone who'd have hosted a tea party for her daughter, circa 1950"

- "hmmm I read this and pictured a lemonade stand on a summer's day, a woman making a purchase, and the ray.... creating a symbol... the ray become the memory, which is an image I admire... for what travels faster than light, and how many years may it traverse before it finds us, before the eyes can find it for what it is... such melancholy, this woman who sits in her room... basking in the rays of her life, perhaps. Much enjoyed this speaking around what is, and catching just enough to make it more than it ever could be. *bows* thank you."

- "Whitman must be in the wind today :) So much is lost... is there such a thing as keep. You'd write that testimony 5 different ways, cedar closets and sunken eyes... maybe you'll be writing of it even more in an effort to regain what that was that got away..... Sounds like every writer's advice, however... Whitman in the civil war... nursing those soldiers, what he found there.... hmmmm. Thanks for the universal found in the particular. "

- "oh yes... I love Whitman's advice there ( was it?)...always carry a pen or work out where the voice recorder is on your phone to save writing when driving...although , using a mobile while driving is probably just as dangerous ... Thanks !"

- "hmmm an odd circuitry to these words, to listen for the last, just in case it is not... from a bird's eye view... is the death of winter more or less than from another perspective.... just don't fly into that window ;) hope you are well, ms 'mae, and thank you. "

- "the fear of the fruit as it lands so near the tree.... reminds me of that painting by Goya depicting Zeus, or was it Chronos?, eating his child.... of course this has a christian theme.... as well as a note on economy; ways in which one may come to value based on ownership, what it means to 'pay' for one's own, as it were.... funny, I was just thinking about lineage the other day... and the force that may drive a line... a bloodline. a prosperous glance into an unreflective paternal instinct... and where is this absence of woman hiding? thanks for the thoughtful words, always...
