You don't know me, do I know me?

I don't live here!

Hands drum against flesh.

SEE?!

There are beats on both sides of the cage.

I live in the marrow,

between the thumbtacks and moments,

in the expression of terrible moments.

 

my life is not an aftermath

or the culmination of what

may be observed...it's...

 

A look to the swell of waves,

life in constant motion,

does it still please, in perspective?

the ever flattening sea.

funny, I was going to quote

funny, I was going to quote the same line Stella quoted...just shows you how hard you can hit completely different people with the same words. I don't live here either...I live in writing. This is fantastic.

The Shock Value

"...between the thumbtacks and the moments..." The best definition of human life I've heard so far. You write exceptionally well and I enjoy reading your offerings. Thank you for posting this piece of art. - Stella -
