Inverse the ratio of distance and strength Alice and Dorothy spread their fingers wide to catch The integers that fell in a silent cadence of absolutes Those squared proportional to those cubed Tossed in random swirl of winds On New Years Toll the equation begins factorial To equal the sum of fractions held There is always distance between letters And the space if multiplied by the lines is often more Than that occupied by black, or yellow, or hearts queen Who sits upon the grass to watch parade of hares Or the number of bricks that lay upon a path So should snow Upon December’s end there is a knot to be tied Some bow left undone before the equinox now begs Should strength be left to mock the heart or to numb the tongue As cold… Once the story told of beauty an algorithm in metaphor For the waste of dark nights when bare the hushed breathing Was sold to window pane in ransom For the hope that came Subtract the product of such divisions from the whole And abstract numbers become clear Alice looked for a clock and watched the folded fingers of her hand While Dorothy clicked her heel in soft rhythmic time “No place like here” She said |

Upon December’s end there is a knot to be tied Some bow left undone before the equinox now begs Should strength be left to mock the heart or to numb the tongue As cold… Once the story told of beauty an algorithm in metaphor For the waste of dark nights when bare the hushed breathing Was sold to window pane in ransom For the hope that came ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I see you made it through the long winter m'friend.. a pure joy to see you and your words again. Hugs n peace ~D |

I apologize, I guess I didn't get it. I was never quite smart enough to keep up with you, though. I just wanted to let you know I was here, and say welcome back. |

Few, methinks, could weave these two tales together. *chuckling* Even fewer having a notion to acquaint the young ladies. Ahhh, the hook, that elusive hook... Happy to have marveled at this. And on a side note...I have moved from that lil riverbank shack...into a barn (with more creature comfort (notably heat and cable *laughing* and ZERO chance of flood)) All is well...hope the same for you, m'friend |
