concerning the dual representation of symbolic relations

31 hours have passed and somehow I'm still breathing. waiting for the breakdown but perhaps it won't come. perhaps i'll swallow this pill without questioning the prescription without wondering about the diagnostics involved just praying for the cure. hah
i'm so sure.

A day and a half has passed and it might as well have been a year for i could swear by my physiological responses that you were never even
[really]
here.

Glance away for a moment and a year and a half turns to the blink / the wink of an eye.

What am I saying? 31 hours have passed and somehow I'm still breathing. waiting for the breakdown.

perhaps i'm scared it won't come.

I love the way that this tells a story in such a brief coupling of lines. Each stanza is like a chapter in the telling of your tale. I love the unasked question of "How can I live without you?" that this has hiding behind the scenes. Sometimes it is good to go back and find old things to see how we have grown and changed. I can tell by this piece that your writing was as fruitful when you wrote this as it is now.

[The Rock And Roll Cowbo..]

Whenever I read your work cause not only do you make me feel but always think and i mean that in a great way... in order to get passed a relationship we must find that final closure and until it comes we can't move on and that is what I read between the lines of this fantastic piece.

Really liked this, Kara. The pace, wording, but most of all, the thoughts it evokes. Swallow the poison like we were told. It'll make you better, whatever (that means).

[Shane Patrick]

Distant, and I found myself waiting for the coming.. very nice Kara

This poem created an extreme sense of urgency and anticipation. I really liked this one and am curious what it's about. I am quite curious, so if you have the time, let me know.

[Richard K]

This would be great as spoken word. I especially liked the repeated use of the '31 hours', it just helped seal the ending all the more.

[Being.john.sweet~The Ev..]
