Consider the Source

Consider the Source

 

 

i'm abandoning reckless,

turning an oxymoron on end

 

pitiful love, turned spiteful like

to clothed bones of feeling

participles that actually found homes

a dachshund's breath bowling over

St. Bernard's cross disposition,

 

 

and lines that make perfect nonsense

to a heart that needs not read anything

to accept conveyance

of the silent screams of the possessed

 

and i thought affection really was a mortal wound

that could only be un-bandaged

never really sealed with a kiss

or understood with a percentage of wisdom

learned on-line at Wikipedia

 

where every truth written

is an absolute certainty

 

just like love,

and my unsubstantiated existence.

Ah, so good to read your writing again Jacob! Upon breezing through again I love coming to find my favorite writers still here. :D


"and i thought affection really was a mortal wound
that could only be un-bandaged

Love that!
