Hellos, Dear, Jacob-Erin-Cilberto,
good morning, I find it just perfect,
I like the thought of unwritten words, and how we have them stored in out minds.
I figure, I want to write, but the occasion isn't there.
It gives me much dismay,
Love it,
-----1809 Back Plague December

you are most welcome, dear,
God, I do love brevity. The last stanza describes perfectly the descent of a block.

Life, death and the in between. Filling in the in between.

when used by a master, repetition can be so damn powerful. a great deal buried within this gem J. life, hope and expectancy, all hidden within the husk of mortality

This speaks to me as if you are in a dying state and sort of muttering to yourself, non compas mentis state of not knowing if you are alone or there is somebody with you; you have some awareness that you have not finished your writing….and then…..unknowing…….
This a bit different kind of writing for you……powerful and excellent
Best, B

Abide is one of my favorite words. It resonates peace and silent strength.
Now that I am reading this again, it occurs to be that this is, in fact, an echo. or at least a residual echo.
Fantasic. You have done some really great work here.
How do you do it?? Really? How?........................

I do believe that "a" was a good place to start if you writing this alphabetically, which it is from what I see but ending on an "un", well...it depends on what you are un-doing.

thanks, will,

Great stuff..very experimental in nature and bold to write. I think it was well worth it. What a cool write.

At first, I was utterly confused about the formatting, but I finally managed to interpret it. Short, yet impactful. Acute, yet endless. It's probably the most original poem I've read yet. ;3
