I am red, crumbled paper, waiting to unfold. I am origami, sailing ship, crossing rivers and oceans. dropping black feathers on the tree tops, and making up haunting stories, I am the ghost that haunts my own sleeping child, I am the smoke we once inhaled, and exhaled into our eyes. Such a burning and such a yearning, could only cause tears..and denial. Avoidance is intolerable yet an axiom of our nature, and refusal is consuming..habitual and addicting. When you die, I'll write you a song, but for now I promise to be silent and pretend that there's not a place in your heaven for me. The trees still sway and hum like electrical circuits cruising around my neck, I am suffocating.. and I was never one for aquatics but I will dance until I drown.. in thought I thought.. paradise was a place in my head so that when you held me I could give you a slice of utopia.. I could taste you grieving.. We will die like ripples and wet salted paper. |

What a unique and haunting poem. A piece for my collection. So many outstanding lines and all so thoughtfully put together! |

I could taste you grieving How I love this image..wow... great to have you back Meg. Maree  Beauty of the world which is soon to perish has two edges, one of laughter and one of anguish, cutting the heart asunder. |
