. How much is your soul worth now that it's been out there on the market, I know you can feel it, the pulse of the bargaining crowd, is it allowed for anyone to bid? Was it the diamonds all fire without heat, the house stone pile excess, perhaps the yacht you hate sailing but love feeling the waves when you are naked with Dom chilling in the pail, the indulging car you seldom drive, the gamboling horse that hardly knows you are alive, days running one through the other until another year's dreams are left undone? Touch the walls the sulky coarse and captive stones, do they keep you in or others out? Press your naked flesh against them beneath the glaring moon you once called friend until they rend your pampered skin, they are unyielding in their honesty, karmic markers carved from granite stolen from the earth beneath your feet. ©2006 by icebox . |

The worth of the soul... sigh I think mine has spent too many lifetimes on flea market tables, next to carved coconuts and hula lamps-- This has quite the impact, though the white lines confused me a bit. I am a rebel without a straw. *pout and wink* |

Great imagery Icebox... and my guess is the white lines might be "coke" lines.. Just my guess. |

nodding with Mag, I read it that way too, but for some reason, this time I also read "highway"--which is also pretty connotative. "High Way" heh  |

icebox "Touch the walls the sulky coarse and captive stones, do they keep you in or others out?" A good question for many to think about.  |
