Staggering in Blue by J.D. Knight - HTML preview

A Letter

Dear Demascus,

You are a well-watered soul

The winds here are fierce today

Voices through green flames

And all

The moments

Groan with a burning loneliness

Fanned

By the memory of our lives

There is only so much

And the moments of profound separation

Find us

Pushed into the chamber of our hearts

- Turn the cards

- Toss the coins

- Form the crosses and the lines

Capture this gust of fate hissing across

The un-sculpted blue

Flames consume, destroy the fuel of their own existence

Young love, it was lost before it began

This is all I know

And this is all worth knowing:

The pliancy of once young ragged and stiff with age

I have not forgotten the lesson of inadequate years

Or your symbol,

Mick
