What’s Left to Burn? Asked if she gave the truth Would it change things? It would have made Continuation possible At one point. Not anymore. With everything burned To the ground now, What’s left to burn? Truth is a foundation, Something you start with, Build on… Not a last second life-line. It not something you just Throw in when convenient Or when nothing else works… The nothing else That never had a place here To begin with. Would I have still loved her? Of course I would have. Love is not an emotion You can just turn off. I love her still, Even now, Walking away. The last of the ash Sifted. Fingers ever stained. Michael Anderson 8/18/20 |

This is a great answer to the question. Michael. You make a heavy truthful point here. "How much is real? So much to question |

Thank you, Paul, it’s really amazing how a person can not realize how fresh a wound they may carry actually still is until asked about it. Kind of what happened here. You can blame Jenn for asking.  Michael |

The truth is a painful, heavy existence I think, Jenn. Would take that over a life based on lies any day. Michael |

Sky!...rofl. It’s only great when I bother to listen to it. I don’t seem to find myself writing with an abundance of it in forethought often, only in afterthought. Michael |

Questions don’t always yield answers, but answers almost always yield more questions, yann. See there, now you got me philosophizing. I have a strict "no thinking" policy on weekends, so stop that! Michael |

Thank you, Karen. It doesn’t feel profound…just sad to me. Michael |
