O Mine Valentine

O MINE VALENTINE We are a twine of lines...vines limbs hair fingers sheets blankets couches streets signs misgivings mistakes retreats agressions 2 chairs 2 drinks a fire an oven a burner a melted finish and a perpetually unmelted finish longings clutchings graspings open doors unopened doors closed doors slammed doors cracked open doors wide open doors tears cries beggings wishings promisings spinning wheels rising roads falling rain calls texts silence long extended open unbracketed Silence dark thick silence light bright silence hopeful silence cresting like a star being born silence ....we begin again

Thank you Susan! I think it could use one more round of editing to be stronger...but now I don't wanna touch it LOL But like you said once you start the list you realize how each word then bleeds into the next and can create new meanings...and a grouping begins to have it's own timber etc...I will try it again too!

Thank you Anindya, It is fun when they ask you to try a form you haven't tried! I had never knowingly tried a list form before. I think it could use another edit but I am thrilled she liked it
