state of confusion

Yellow

Children of the corn swarm,
dance around a yellow maypole,
nibble plump kernels of youth-truth

giggles carry on a southern breeze balmy
where winter is upside
down

Ten little feet do a gig
scream in delight-fright as children do
sounding sounders smother smaller cries:
an ugly boy who got underfoot

tomorrow’s stalks grow tall and high.

"youth-truth"


...love that

I went through a corn maze last  fall and  got caught in it for a while...

unlike a child I panicked a bit...and probaby will never go into one again

There is nothing more terrifying than
suddenly having the inability to be
heard; and that can happen in so many
ways...

You brought back a terrifying moment
for me, that I haven't thought of,
in years...

and I thank you for that.

I have to admit I became a little worried towards the end of this

Vision and how I saw your meaning left me betwix understanding and not so
