The dead can walk yes
the body too stubborn to
stop breathing just yet

Raffaele! This is so impressive and sadly so true for many who do not really live .... all of us at times, I think.
You think it's the matter clinging to the soul? Or the opposite ... the soul insisting that this body and mind will begin to LIVE?
Buona domenica!
Love, Margherita

Raph:

yes . . . the dead do walk - amazingly
but it is no time for the breathing
to cease . . .
the music is still playing . . .

amazing as always you are

GAWD Raph, you hafta stop peeking into my life...this is powerful!

I'm sure you've heard the song "Feel" by Robbie Williams...well usually I hate pop songs and artists, but this song is actually deep.  For some reason your senryu reminded me of it, and the line in it: "I don't want to die, but, I'm not keen on living either."

Your senryu is poignant, and I'm saving it~

Intellectually I know that Canada is no better than any other country. Emotionally I KNOW that Canada is the best country in the world!

My, gawd, that's heavy! You evoke such strong emotions in me---every time I read you! I guess that is why I keep coming back for more!  

Warm hugs--I think you need them!

Dream thanks and as for country, what do you get when you play a country record backwards? You get back your girl your dog and your pick up truck..

Linda always appreciate you coming back
