More ee cummings

Sent to me by a dear friend who always knows when I need something beautiful in my life. Thanks buddy! I love you!!!

listen... (III)

listen
beloved
i dreamed
it appeared that you thought t0
escape me and became a great
lily atilt on
insolent waters but i was aware of
fragrance and i came riding upon
a horse of porphyry into the
waters i rode down the red
horse shrieking from splintering
foam caught you clutched you upon my
mouth
listen
beloved
i dreamed in my dream you had
desire to thwart me and became
a little bird and hid
in a tree of tall marble
from a great way i distinguished
singing and i came
riding upon a scarlet sunset
trampling the night easily
from the shocked impossible
tower i caught
you strained you
broke you upon my blood
listen
beloved i dreamed
i thought you would have deceived
me and became a star in the kingdom
of heaven
through day and space i saw you close
your eyes and i came riding
upon a thousand crimson years arched with agony
i reined them in tottering before
the throne and as
they shied at the automaton moon from
the transplendant hand of sombre god
i picked you
as an apple is picked by the little peasants for their girls

Jes - unusual request since you like to eat. Can you post a phote of you eating munggae? Unusual red, lumpy seafood only found in Korea. I still have nightmares form being forced to eat it as a kid. words cannot describe it and you guys are adventurous enough!

Well, you make it sound so appetizing...I'll see what I can do, but I don't think it'll happen this weekend.
