Description holding on to
lines that
connect our
voices to
ears,
bridge our bones
with time,
tightrope the air
and bind
the souls of strangers.

holding on.
holding on.

speak to me
of dust and echoes.

Beautiful caption. I really like the orangey/brown colour, adds a dramatic touch to the picture.

Oh, and, lovely words. Fits the picture perfectly.

Have you ever read 'a noiseless silent spider'? The poem is similar in concept and wording

Love the composition of the photo--and the atmosphere/toning. Its gorgeous!

I hadn't read it. I looked it up after reading your comment. Definitely there is a spiritual connection!

Thank you much, dearest.

Oh this one has many levels as others have pointed out.

I likehow your eyes see things and your mind processes them into words and images we can all share.

Moody and atmospheric image. The words enhance the photo as always and remind us that sometimes those lines are the only connection people have with each other in a very disconnected world.

The words and the image work beautifully together and enhance each other powerfully.

The bright patch in the sky looks like if you peek through it you will see a whole other world.

I know this is very much about solid reality and electrical signals and people, but that sky just gives me a strong impression of what is beyond the veil, and the way actually the spirit world likes to follow our lives, including what we say on the phone

BitterGrapes In reply to Yamenja [2006-10-18 02:38:03 +0000 UTC]

I think the sky is a fascinating thing. It's goes through its moods....just like people. Your perspective is interesting!

Yamenja In reply to BitterGrapes [2006-10-18 18:21:43 +0000 UTC]

Indeed.

Have you read 'Love' by Toni Morrison....I was so affected by her desciiption of the 'policeheads' that were surely based upon thunderheads....poetry!

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 1

BitterGrapes In reply to Yamenja [2006-10-19 13:11:41 +0000 UTC]

I haven't yet read 'Love". But here is the wild part:
I have been carrying that book around in my book satchel for months! I think my hesitation is that I found the beginning a little tedious. But I LOVE Toni's work. I've read Tar Baby, The Bluest Eye and Song of Solomon. The latter is one of the best books I've ever read. Definitely in my top 10. Gruvi that this piece in any way reminds you of something from that special lady.

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 1

Yamenja In reply to BitterGrapes [2006-10-19 17:33:43 +0000 UTC]

That is pretty wild.

I think I have read them all except Paradise....although I may have read that too...it's ringing a bell. Somtimes I dont know Ive read something until I'm reading it again and start to recognise it.

I think you might find Jazz absorbing. I certainly did.

I guess the pace of Love is kind of slow and airy in the way it is told. I can understand a city person not being grabbed by it. Maybe you just need to leave it until you want something with that kind of tempo.

BitterGrapes In reply to Yamenja [2006-10-19 19:04:38 +0000 UTC]

Uh oh....I've become a city person? You might be right.
I should probably be more patient with Love. I'll check into Jazz. That will give me an excuse to return my grossly overdue library book.
