Time, Warped In a too-big house, on the second floor, parents mirror sleep; too soon, skimmed from surface dreams, pulled awake by a chime in the wind, a phone that might have rung, a doorbell pressed by a midnight messenger. Eighteen months since slumber was lost to this alarmed state. Fear stirs blankets cold. Mom takes a photograph from the night table: a girl, no, a young woman: smiling, in full dress. Dad pours a dram of brandy; announces all is still well. Mom palms two Restoril from a half-empty bottle, swallows them dry. [This message has been edited by Corinne (07-01-2004 06:43 PM).] |

Fear-whispers stir the night. ~*~ You always tend to leave me, pondering, pensive...proud to know you. |

wow... yes, haunting. I'll definitely lock the doors tonight, but then, that isn't the point is it? leaves me all too despondent. Love it! Always, Alyssa Poems are made by fools like me, |
