smoothest to say
these black mists shine
and dream deliriously,
pound sweet honey storm
in play, to crush and use
our lathered blood as lake.
a summer, sordid as love,
licks me through music’s
gorgeous day

Sordid is an interesting choice–I don’t know that I’ve ever seen that word from the Oracle. (K)

It was a weird set of words generally. The Oracle must have been in a mood…

A whirlwind of beautiful contradictions, no?! “Black mists” that “shine” and the “sweet honey storm” … Liked the expressions: “pound sweet” and “lathered lake”.

Yeah, I keep forgetting you’re actually using set words! ‘Cause I doubt I could come up with something that gorgeous, Li, not within those constraints. Brava! “a summer, sordid as love” indeed! Mmm!

Stacie you’re too humble <3

Haha. Thanks, Li, but no, I’d get too frustrated, probably, having to work with already-set words. Which means I should force myself to do stuff like that, obviously, so widen my comfort zone! But will I?! I don’t know. Maybe. If I ever get to retire! lol
