Of Vultures A vulture sets within my zone And picks and tears my flesh from bone A portion of my life each day Falls beneath his beak each flay I cannot set the clock above Or change the vulture to a dove Or make the whale regurgitate Or slow the process of my state I watch disintegration fly Pollute the land pollute the sky Pollute the waters of the sea Pollute the sea that started me If lives a pox that we call sin This paradox we live within Than I am guilty to the core And like the vulture eat its store But paradox would not be strange A part of rot and time and change |

Oh, my, Dear Sy! As brilliant and creative as this write is, I found it rather unsettling. Some of the images almost made me cry ~ like vultures ravaging your body. I know I should be appreciating the metaphors and not be taking everything so literally, but your descriptions were so vivid, I could not help but be drawn into them. I will picture you as a seagull flying high and free in a bright and clear cerulean summer sky. Your call is strong and mighty and you can see into forever. ~ There, now I'm happy! Loveya, my sweet sonneteering seagull! lol Be happy! We all adore you and in the hearts of you and your friends, you shall be forever young! Angel smootches! EA |

Seymour, although a dark write for you (matches the rain here today), I believe you put much truth in this one, and I appreciate your words of wisdom. ...jo |

I cannot set the clock above Or change the vulture to a dove Or make the whale regurgitate Or slow the process of my state Wouldn't it be nice if we could change the process... or slow it down? Hugs, Ethel |
