Abandon There is a line, though not in sand. Scripture tells us who alone has the authority to record, or not, our sin in that, loose medium. It seems to be, instead, a kind of tincture that encircles wounds, as when a mother applies to the hand or arm of a child, iodine. Warned not to scratch, I dare not think that word called "itch". But what of sleep? Must I then keep fast near my bed the complete works, in Latin, of St. Augustine, including his "Confessions"? Will that between these lines erase my dream that in our oneness felt this first, sweet breath of abandon? RMW |

Bob--You sometimes seem to write with two pens...each opposing the other in direction, the end leading each to thoughtfulness. I do like the way you write! |
