You sit and I row back the years, flipping them like the pages from last week’s precursory statements. And there is nothing left from sixteen onwards as I repulse the love from underneath and the curtain flies to the right, a haphazardly-broken ideal embraced in the fancy of a new day and the purity of half-struck light. And as you become less ordinate I find the detail in your lies remarkable, the beauty of them somewhat hard to believe. I cry (and I rush to the territorial, and I rush to the proverbial, and I rush rush into your arms because nowhere else is not far from here) And then, there, the milk dominates the sideways-turning fury of your need for reassurance, and your need for purifiance your need for closure and clarity bound halfway through the pages. I know your subtlety relies on perspicacity, and something I cannot give. I lie to the minister sometimes, and I lie to the priest, and I sing your sway, sometimes, the sublimity surreal. And I’d give away the summer solstice to flip back to page fourteen where I could forgive. I’d let the logic float away back to November so I could sing you to sleep for the last time, in yellow-spun rhyme and let you shut the back door and hear the shatter-pierce of glass light the fire at noon in the hopes I could remember. I do (and I sell the gown you gave me for two candles; autumn rain, and a little box to hold the letters in) [This message has been edited by aurora rain (edited 11-17-2000).] |

This is quite deep, a great read, Aurora, If I haven't welcomed you, "Welcome!" "When red-haired girls scamper like roses over the rain-green grass, and the sun drips honey."" Laurie Lee Kathleen |

"and I rush rush into your arms because nowhere else is not far from here" "And I’d give away the summer solstice to flip back to page fourteen where I could forgive.
