photo by Louis-Philippe Demers
…I mentally shredded layer by layer with my semi-ruined
collection of possibilities its fragile alike cardboard essence.
Under the one human roof, we shared, I felt totally different
feral & insatiable, ever-present spirit, contained crestfallen dust of failures,
wounds…
Would it be there a chance to connect in dismal future through the hOurs-stones of silence…
That's a really striking photo you've chosen to go with your post.
ReplyDeletewow - you said a lot there in a few words well done
ReplyDeleteIn answer to the question the answer is "Yes" however by adapting it will change you so that future human contact may be untenable. Just keep him well oiled!
ReplyDeleteNow...imagine this words belong to biorobot...
Deleteyou ended up with something quite emotive out of this...the first, the shredding of the possibilities....the feeling of the emotion there in the middle...
ReplyDeleteThere is always a chance, just maybe not at first glance

ReplyDeleteIn what guise would she meet, once layers are shred? A most provocative poem!
ReplyDeleteI like the new format you have used here humbird..the image definitely adds to the story..it feels like an internal journey
ReplyDeletethe hOurs-stones of silence...oh i like...
ReplyDeleteThe layers of self-doubt, the identity of separation.
ReplyDeleteSo expressively conveyed in this piece.
The image conveys both the tearing down of the old and the possibility of connection that lives in the silence.
Thank you, friends for thoughtful comments! I enjoyed all of them ! Much Love <3

ReplyDeleteCreative and full of possibilities.
ReplyDeleteYou lost me. But that was always going to happen, I guess.
ReplyDeleteI really like the hour stones of silence. That is a great combination.
ReplyDeleteI loved your words and could feel them-I know stones of silence, yet words lift us out of the cardboard roof ;D
