1956 Moment I’m not good with the make of cars, it was either dark blue or even black, there weren’t many choices then, though its interior was tan, I know, because I was afraid that blood from my knee wouldn’t come out from the space of tan…silence screams! But you…now, now I remember, it was that day you had begged, cried, to be in front; and I remember, that the dark blue, hard metal console and how it found your soft baby chin then, when another vehicle ran that sky-high blood red light, hard squealing sounds, Dad tried to stop, too quickly, and Collision sounds ~ somewhere else in kingdom spent. Not recalling disharmony, only flowing red… a young chin’s first cut, not even from a bully-boy’s fight, just a child’s slipped body from a benched seat in a ‘50’s car … coming to a stop too fast… we never went home; Daddy headed to some doctor more heed paid to blood than tendon, because I lied, I didn’t hurt, I wasn’t bleeding, you were, you needed more… while Doc pasted temperance; and I recall your fear… ~*~ this day, 2006, today, this now, through corporeal stress, functioning coming too hard, a sequence in someone else’s good deal, some mind diagramming moments to press into non-existent spaces…and oh, then, into my space… this, my own chin, began a’tingling, a striking lightning rod across one and one quarter inch length of rip, tear, red, you…your chin; my finger, a left handed raise to stop some non-existent blood and your birth day is Saturday. Did you think that I could forget? ~*~ RCR – 11-25-53/02-05-06 |

Karilea~ And in this tender moment of recall ... you caught me misty-eyed~  *Huglets* ~*marge*~ ~*The sound of a kiss is not as strong as that of a cannon, but it's echo endures much longer*~ |

I'm not sure what to say that moment can stay with a person forever, and usually does I know |

Flashbacks can hurt almost as much as when they actually happened. Autumn, the year's last loveliest smile~ |
