Mia, she rocks the parcel. Good Friday has a new image for us now, and it's not of the cruxifiction...of Christ.
I feel compelled to show off a poem. It's not mine, god...I could never write this good, and no matter how hard I try, I probably never will. I think it kind of coincedes with today..considering the holiday and what it represents. Death. But not a physical death, rather the death of emotion, of a way of life, a chapter in a life...I dunno...you'd have to read it. I encourage you to...and possibly give feedback?
++++++++++++
We held hands on the last night on Earth/ Our mouths filled with dust/ We kissed in the fields and under trees/ Screaming like dogs and bleeding dark into the leaves/ It was empty on the edge of town but/ We knew everyone floated along the bottom of the river/ So we walked through the waste where the road curved into sea/ And the shattered seasons lay/ And the bitter smell of burning was on you like a disease/ In our cancer of passion you said/ "Death is a midnight runner"
The sky had come crashing down like the news of an intimate suicide/ We picked up the shards and formed them into shapes of stars/ That wore like an antique wedding dress/ The echoes of the past broke the hearts of the unborn/ As the ferris wheel silently slowed to a stop/ The few insects skittered away in hopes of a better pastime/ I kissed you at the apex of the maelstrom and asked / If you would accompany me in a quick fall/ But you made me realize my ticket wasn't good for two
I rode alone/ You said "The cinders are falling like snow" / There is poetry in despair and we sang with unrivaled beauty/ Bitter elegies of savagery and eloquence/ Of blue and grey/ Strange, we ran down desperate streets and carved our names/ In the flesh of the city/ The sun has stagnated somewhere beyond the rim of the hirizon/ And the darkness is a mystery of curves and lines/ Still, we lay under the emptiness and drifted slowly outward/ And somewhere in the wilderness we found salvation/ Scratched into the Earth like a message
