Brevity ©2008 C.G. Ward it is tense, this time between dawn and dusk, the pacing-racing-tracing --- one end of the path… to the next: nascence / \ termination if life really is some metaphorical (metaphysical) expedition trudging through the impermanence of time, then perhaps I am still an apprentice; to learn the style of miles takes a skill I do not yet possess - simple? - she buries fingers in my hair for comfort only I can bestow and - with silence as my only response, she is soft. - hearts are weak – a stint won’t open the core, can’t bring the smoothness that she used to splay into my hands and over my back as an expression of the basics. see, life is only complicated when you’re awake, and dreams are unmercifully brief. |

Christopher, "Brevity" reads better every time I read it - and I liked it the first time I read it. This time I am saving it. Alison |
