I am every bit a dragonfly today feeding on fleeting days, the crisp fall air turning my stomach, my wings barely tangible.
There will be snow soon and I will be lost in it.
I can find no hope in the tainted leaves, the turning season, the expanding night.
There seems no reason to rhyme, no color that is brave enough, no metaphor complete.
I will understate my fragility and will suffer it alone.
As useless as the dying year with its dispiriting quiet and incurable days, I linger, only just, ragged-winged within diminished words.

Imagination and fantasy cannot kill us. But reality is another matter.
Death however has been coming since the day we were born. Thou halt not kill does not equate to Thou shalt not die.
There have always been killers. Insanity cannot be reasoned with.
You have left me grateful that I have managed to miss the terrorists, except to watch them on the news. That is quite close enough.
Those of us left standing are fortunate, and we feel guilt that we are. Its a poisonous game you speak of. But I share your sentiments.

I fear our current president big time.
He is nuts!
Peace! |
