In the past few weeks, I suppose, all of us have been impacted by the scenes. Perhaps to numbness.... Tsunami Through cataracted eyes swollen Leaking unbelief in buckets filled Of sea foam kissed red cells Matrimonially alluring... violent Wave borne fists pounding Clamshell to beach powder white Death gulls gluttoned Under a carrion sun circling Shipwrecked lunar mourning at Bedded horizon praying; this blinking stepchild’s telling of handcuffed innocence dying at birth.

Matrimonially alluring... violent ~*~ That you caught the onslaught of it so well tells me that you've always been a watcher of life. |

sometimes, there's not much to cheer about. i admire the way this was written, Robert. there are words in here in places that i just wouldn't have thought to use and i like that a lot. "so I wait for you like a lonely house |
