I write to you in my mind on beautiful crisp white parchment
I write sacred things disguised as daily minutiae things of magnitude only because of mundanity
small glimpses of the vast empty hidden in the overgrown wastelands milestone markers to nowhere to a land inhabited by ephemera daliesque in it's discrepancies in relation to the current realities
i write mile after mile of dragging letters a breadcrumb trail eaten by carrion birds that grow fat on both joy and misery
i am like a plough horse, in a field overused and crumbling, but still i work the rows, for no one has released me from the harness
my words are mud, on crispest snow turned to water and frozen to rime
my words are finest gibberish
bedlamese, sublime,
vapour in a hurricane
a cry in a bottle
the salt in a tear
my words....are the ellipses of my understanding of your life.
I write to you in my mind and post the letters to you memory.
thinking on the ways we deal with grief, as i stand at a friends father's funeral....
