To Zip Code 94043 - for Zayra - silver


                  speak heart words
                        soul phrases
                              swirl like ribbon
                                    threaded thought

            knowing voice and script
            but not face nor flavor
            of a woman who picks
            strands of thought from clouds,
            out of old sweaters,
            from midst of love

                  speak heart words
                        soul phrases
                            swirl like ribbon
                                    threaded thought

          she speaks and blesses
          eyes that crave new color,
          hands that crave touch,
          heart that knows sorrow

                speak heart words
                      soul phrases
                            swirl like ribbon
                                  threaded thought


          woman turns inside out
          to give birth to knowing
          knotting sisters together
          into fine firm poems

                speak heart words
                      soul phrases
                          swirl like ribbon
                                threaded thought

    Gorgeous. Curious to figure out the location of the zip code ~ sounds vaguely familiar. Aha!!! Just saw the link. Duhhh. Ahhh, between the two of you & Nicolette, I'd give all the ink in my veins just to be a remote echo of the warm, wise currents of sound & sensation you three provide this world with. How beautiful this is, my Sister...& what a tribute for such a magnificent Soul. Good luck in the contest, Sweetie. Wanda
