The Oracle Speaks — About Ache

About Ache

Symphony skin, honey dream,
rock crushing diamond drive
is in me, boiling beneath
delirious fiddle music;

but shadow has shot through
meanly with never, its
sleepy, lazy chants cool
lust in blue blows.



It’s been awhile since consulting The Oracle.

  1. I have just logged into WP for the first time in a looooong while, and the first thing I see is this – I love it, it’s great! We have some boxes of magnetic poetry (the analogue ones), but currently no place to use them. Great to know there is a digital version!

      You just made me think of “Love Hurts” by Nazareth.

        It’s a great song. I like the Emmylou Harris/ Gram Parsons version.

      1. I’m sure I will! I hope to participate soon. Today I’ve booted up the music computer…I have to get a part to start doing something again…I’ve ordered it from Amazon and it will be here tomorrow. I even found the first song I ever wrote in1983! It’s not good but fun to listen to.

    I don’t recall “meeting up” with The Oracle before, but this is a pretty cool result, Lisa.

      Steve, I see the wordlists similar to Mother Night’s collecting data bits during our waking hours to weave dreams when we sleep. It’s a very neat process either way. Thank you :)
