I follow your sign,
the bent twigs, the partial prints
filling with new rain,
filling with old sand
while I feel my heart slowly
drain of memory
as I forget you
and how you touched me like sky
touches all the earth.
I don't know where it could be. I have checked and not found a "Share This" option. However, I have never had trouble posting my blog address to Facebook and having it complete itself in Facebook style. Also I highlight and "ctrl-c" any address in my address bar and "ctrl-v" it into any location that accepts text or addresses and have good results with the links, so I never found a need for a "share this" button.
That is such fundamental computer knowledge that I am sure I don't need to help people share if they want to. There is a Google+ sharing option inside Google but I want no part of that.
Some years ago my poetry took on a mythic flavor and I became a character in my own poems, a mage, "the man of the Northern Wall". This apellation is not completely fictional. My middle name is Noordwal, a Dutch term for north wall, though in current Dutch it mainly means north bank as in riverbank. I was told that an ancestor, a Portugese Jew escaping the Inquisition, settled in a small Dutch town and took this name from where he settled, near the north wall of the town. I have thought for a long time that -wal meant wall, think my mother told me that. A linguist might say that my usage is no longer common, is an older usage, but then the Inquisition happened in Portugal a few centuries ago, right around the time the Moors lost control of the Iberian Peninsula and the Jews lost the modest protection given them by Islam. Now I write as this mage, my poetry persona.
Mechanical designer for industry, now retired, once a Bay Area Hippie, went undercover in 1972, I've been writing poetry for years.

I wish there's a like button on your post. Because you know, it's not easy to say something about a poem. It's ineffable.
