But I need to egt my blog going and I want y'all to respond so, here's a poem by yours truly also on my blog, just so you kno what going on there. You can also check the Hill TV Feed for updates. Enjoy:

We saw the lamppost and screamed.
“What news from the West,” it said,
“You’ll have no rest and your friends
Are all clotted cream.”

“Am I insane,”
Said he,
Said I..
“This door you have opened
Will never be closed.”

The image of the Hawk,
The Eagle,
The Wolf and other beasts unnamed.
What sense could it make?
It could sense not unmake,
And we were still awake.
What did it mean?

Oh, Lamppost fair!
Oh, Provider of light!
Oh, Sin upon Sin!
“We’ve entered too far to get in,”
Said I.

We embraced the embrace of the face.
Not a kiss, but with two hands on one face.
Two eyes at two eyes and the touch
Seemed improper but tempered with warmth.

“Is that you in there?” I called.
There was no response.
There was empty space
In the folds of skin massaged by rough palms,
It was the greatest mistake we had made.

So great was our fall that we undid time.
A lie.
I lied but unknowingly.
We opened a simple box
And found a field where
Dead men walk and chastise us.

Why the Light? Why?
Why not a coin or a tree to cut down?
Why not a sly flitter
Or a scent or a sound?

Why is a lamppost here?
