giventhe beauty in flame and
giventhat said beauty consists
of the living consumptive force
of flamethat it does consume
does breathe does excrete and
reproducewith all that indicates
it is aliveis it any wonder
that i would possess it by
touching it and being seared by it
i who would rather not to have
burned any bridges i thought
and i who in the end took
such delight in burning them
would turn back now for only
the ashesnostalgic implications
and the bittersweet fragrance
of immolationas the flame itself
would never be my own

| Wow. Thats great. Thanks for that... A poem about longing, and hollow attempts at fulfillment, and even better, by a cockroach... |

Terrific title and equally deserving post.
i who would rather not to have
burned any bridges i thought
and i who in the end took
such delight in burning them
This is my favorite part, perhaps I relate, perhaps we all can. I wish I knew more about the Lesson of the Moth - you have me intrigued.
Terrific,as always.

Contemplative cockroaches? Nostalgic implications?
Interesting . . . and slightly bizarre.
WOrthwhile read, though. |

Mon duox ami,
You never cease to amaze me with your choice of words and your choice of topics.. Very interesting write! Filled with beauty, a desire to be accepted and nostalgia... All beautifully wrapped in a satin bow.. You concluded this extravegent piece wonderfully! I can relate to this cockroach... Although I have a phobia of them, I like this one... Perfect piece, my friend! All my love and respects, as always!
Your dearest ami,
Fleur* |
