Kon’s Crosses Bearing burdens had taken on consequential undertones, the stick he had picked up to denote notches of time that last Sunday seemed to have whittled itself down into nothing as the remaining curls of chipped limb lay a quiet reminder at his boots. Yesterday views beat him blue ‘round his graying temples – his chocolate-haired Dana and overall’d Iambe reminding him with silent sounds their expectations of his more. But he felt like a slow-leaking balloon trying hard to heal itself from the inside-out, the sky too high to reach for, though the ground seemed too far to fall to, and what would comfort him in these losses of love? What band-aid could cover these scars that didn’t show themselves to anyone else? Even anger would feel better than this void. The last chink into his vanishing stick found Konrad wishing for a cleansing fire. One that he would have to kindle, himself. |

Sissie "But he felt like a slow-leaking balloon trying hard to heal itself from the inside-out, the sky too high to reach for, though the ground seemed too far to fall to, and what would comfort him in these losses of love?" Feeling this!  |

Your word selection and phrasing always astound me. I agree with Martie, but these lines get me thinking about the passing of time and the undertones therein. "Bearing burdens had taken on consequential undertones, the stick he had picked up to denote notches of time that last Sunday seemed to have whittled itself down into nothing as the remaining curls of chipped limb lay a quiet reminder at his boots." A requiem? KJ Through rubble and trouble and dark of night |
