Negative Resolution

It is a challenge
writing negative, white against black

with some second dare being, from one too close,
“write of what is really not.”

Hello again, Alice. Where’s the Windex?

Too long hidden by hurt, pain, wonder;
for even had one been the bad, good, and beautiful,
what ripple wouldn’t have been noticed?

Tsunamis come from a beginning ripple ~
had some stream been so untouched, where bathing
in liquid pure turned water to ice,
where then, would we be?

When hate is dealt in viperous spew
turning life once known, askew, then
one’s seed so fertile grew in you, when
tender’s touch was not ensued.

And we, he, I, are now despised in
someone’s [your] knowledge, eschewed.

But…[Thank you God}

The moral of this story knows/shows/
glows against
the wrongs you set in all you sewed
and growing strong in spite of some fear
as white on black becomes quite clear.

You may guise some noir film in your display
then in rerun continuous, let it play ~
split your comments, and then weigh
an “oh no really, didn’t mean my say.”

Truth be known, I could have done
the way of you, and been the run girl run…

but you endorsed a gift, you see…for
she has in her, some truth
of what you might possibly
never be.

But she, she is some part of you,
[though you’ll never in fact] see…
fast laying truths in her own
hard-won
reality.  

You left her, to others, and
to me.

You left this bit o’ gold
in hands
that would free her
of all sin, all binds that be…

a resolution of some blast
of negative adjust,
some glory that will be!


~*~


This does not quite meet one challenge,
but is a beginning, possibly,
in negative writing.

But, and I cannot do otherwise,
than allow it to have other
than a positive ending.

yes it always is, but dear Karilea you rise above most.....


And so it those we live with
and should know who elude us
But we can still love them
we can love completely
without complete understanding
