Sensate
With an apology to Kate Bush
With an old recording,
referring to Kate and the lyrics
(from Joyce's reBloomed Molly;
all in Bush's tongue),
there is domination of each of the five
over one terrain and beautiful space.
Perfect for a late night of, once again,
herded terms and long stares at the screen,
once again, challenging the form.
*
Not easily defined by the page.
Not perfectly formed in my mind
staring eye-hungry, and mind-touched
with her look in my head.
Dictionaried language stays dry to the touch.
*
Strange to bring this to a challenge
touching line with form,
tongue to the sound,
I form my apologia...
'Stepping out of the page into the sensual world.
Stepping out, off the page, into the sensual world.'

Why not both?
Nice work. Beautifully written.
Kate rocked long before "Stranger Things". Nicely done, Kendall! (I do wish she wasn't afraid of flying as I'd love to see her live without flying to the UK!)
Fabulous!!! Left some love💖💖💕
Beautiful. The title reminded me of the Sense8 TV series created by the siblings Wachowski, still available on Netflix I believe.
