I suppose you needed me crying "keep me all together" Did you hear me beg reprieve? "nothing same can last forever"? True--I've been a constancy a circle just beyond your reach talk-talk wasted talk-talk grieve talk-talk clinging to my knees wrap your arms around me please-- just not there, just let me breathe... rudderless oh how profound death can be without a sound weighted by the both of us talk, talk dammit-- talk-talk drown... |

very nice piece karen made me think how terrible it is when there is nothing left to talk about ( except there being nothing to talk about) makes you miss those really nice silences two people can share Peace, J There is society where none intrudes, by the deep sea, and music in its roar. |

"rudderless oh how profound death can be without a sound weighted by the both of us talk, talk dammit-- talk-talk drown..." I have "gasped" this very thing. Oddly, was thinking of it earlier. As always K, amazing. |

I knew this kind of lonliness but I didn't feel it long. For grieving the living is harder, Than grieving those who are gone. Mighty profound Lady, and sometimes when they finally talk - really is it worth listening to? This should be a plaque |

Serenity -- I really, really liked this one! Especially: "rudderless oh how profound death can be without a sound weighted by the both of us talk, talk dammit-- talk-talk drown..." The sense of rhythm it took added to the frustration expressed! ..........jo |

Very intense indeed Karen, having been there not to long ago myself. Gorgeous Mxx Beauty of the world which is soon to perish has two edges, one of laughter and one of anguish, cutting the heart asunder. |

"wrap your arms around me please-- just not there, just let me breathe..." Had to laugh at this, knowing this suffocating feeling-It must be terribly difficult to please someone who wants to be wrapped, but wants to breathe... Where does one find the perfect median?) I love your writings. Sometimes they baffle me, but they're intriquing and thought provoking. CTS, thank you for your hospital campout comment-it made me smile. Sadie |
