Best Slenderness Poems

On cold evenings
Surrounded by friends
Warm and
Safe
I could stay up forever
Taking strength
From the blackness 
Talking
Dreaming
Feeling that I could float upward
And walk with the stars
On their lonely journey 
Through heaven.

There was a girl 
I was with then
Tall
Graceful
And beautiful

What knowledge do you have of my home?
Have you taken a walk through the cemetery?
Walking on my tracks, footprints of eternity.

Distances
by Michael R. Burch

There is a small cleanness about her,
as though she has always just been washed,
and there is a dull obedience to convention
in her accommodating slenderness
as she feints at her salad.

She has never heard of Faust, or Frost,
and she is unlikely...

           To see the rising sun
           Why stand? I sought to know

Scarlet trees, do not mind if I keep looking at you
Your branches point to the endless, sun-kissed roads,
Point to where my heart wants to be!
When I gaze at your slenderness

self-worth
mild ascend
from earth, to sky,

The dreampt sky took to the horizon like fall leaves covering the iced over ground.
Pure as ever I sit and read your letter sent by wings from all over.
The slenderness of your words and a wonderous chill down the spine of my 
back.
Flutters from under...
