an offer, declined
By Crush_With_Eyeliner
I offered to
play the role
of executioner.
An offer you
swiftly declined.
I offer again
my sickly crutch
(my offending
limbs)
to you.
An old habit
still not lacking
any validity.
No longer accepted
as truth.
The distance is
wider
than I
thought possible.
There is to be
no post mortem
on our
clever
never-was.

......an ending that is bludgeoning....egads....as a thing unravels, unveils, it then becomes transparent, wounds exposed and viscerally seen; weak spots, soft bruises, and deadly spot on coup.de.gras.. ... this feels more remorseful than anything; .....i like how you concisely expound on the entire expanse of a thoughtful moment. and egads again, killer end.

Then I shall consider my goal accomplished. I know we've spoken about this before...I came across a great quote from Hermann Hesse..I've been immersed in his books (again) for about a month now.. This is from the introduction to Steppenwolf.. "Poetic writing can be understood and misunderstood in many ways. In most cases the author is not the right authority to decide on where the reader ceases to understand and the misunderstanding begins. Many an author has found readers to whom his work seemed more lucid than it was to himself. Moreover, misunderstandings can be fruitful under certain circumstances." I read that earlier tonight and immediately thought about you. I take great comfort in the fact that this experience was meaningful to you, whether it be on an intellectual or emotional level.
