I don't believe, though, like ED felt, it is "uncontrollable want". I feel it is sure and knowing, and it could only be sure in that presence, still in you, of the wind. It's stark and opulent at the same time. Revolving standingstill.<br /><br />Another poet, Ed Markowski, one with a good eye and feel, went to your site after I pointed in that direction and wrote back this morning his joy for the Trailways poem. Here in snowland this morning I nodded looking out at all the new snow from yesterday and said to myself, "Self — that is what has been inside you all week, Tom's Trailways poem."<br /><br />Been there, done that, want to do it again.<br /><br />It's alive.<br /><br />(signed) Rat KillerBob Arnold / Longhousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00016178166202192089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4445844569294316288.post-36389545797946836542010-02-13T04:26:52.347-08:002010-02-13T04:26:52.347-08:00Otto,
