The cables continue but I prefer a letter The censors didn’t have their bloody hands on That detailed the way the hollow of throat is sensitive And perhaps misses the tip of my fingers as they trace the skin To the underside of jaw line But then, Perhaps it doesn’t in these difficult times as everyone has their fill Of rationed ways, reserved speech, and of course their daily duties to perform. Besides, memory is a treacherous thing when all there are, are thin words And half gone images of some blurry ideal one may have thought they found I’m sure there are plenty of sacrifices that come along These cold and gloomy nights being as they are unseasonable after the heat It’s difficult to keep the bed warm with only gusts of wind Spread thin in lines upon some memory Speaking of, Old Jonesy found himself a French woman in town And has forsaken the usual gatherings to measure in great detail The distance between her eyes. He is convinced that nothing matters but the way her pupils expand When some small thing might pleasure her and says in some confidence That she has a fine cellar with some wonderful tasting wine I grow restive now There seems so little to say at times and so much I would not speak of For fear I think the worse, or discover that my morning tea Does need a drop of cognac to rouse me for the day and further scrambling Codes you know are a tedious lot, but we’ve all learned to speak that way It seems My regards to your Mother and Father should you think to pass them along I must close for now. Regards Jackson |

Thanks for looking in Ma'am.... glad there is something in this you might enjoy... this one is pretty thin pickings I fear and am not sure if they can or will continue. Inspiration comes and goes, not all worthy of a series. thank you, always |

The cables continue but I prefer a letter ~*~ As do many. *** You elicit captive readers... leaving them wondering... speechless.... how could a mere response equate to this storied line... knowing that if they threw in a pebble, it might ripple the pond so much so that the mystery might drown... I take such a chance, and thus from a voice box gone silent, mouth the words... write on....   |

you know... the mystery exists no matter the pebble or the ripples widened path... understanding is always a matter of where you are at the point in time and what you can see from the bank of the pond.. thanks for the kind reply ma'am.. |
