Tears & Fears
I picture your head upon the pillow
Hair cascading in a billow
Dreaming the creep of afterglow
Hair from shallow
To depth
Of
Shadow
Shaded in aftersorrow
As aftershow
Became tonight in an ellipse over your sight
Seen in an inky emerging
Eclipse
Of dark side of moon over moon
Gone
Too
Soon
O
How the tides just
Take us to our
Tomb
In dust to
Dust
Emoted in motes
Perhaps even
Fears
&
Tears
Tears
&
Fears.

Author's Note
Was thinking of friend who passed a few years ago.
It kind of plagues me to not know what happened.
They were young and "died comfortably at her home".
and I think about the last time I spoke I spoke to them
and the things that were going on in their lives.
How they said I was one of the only people
they could talk to...
I don't know that I know what closure is...
But it is sort of an empty feeling, when I think of them.
I just...
Wonder what happened.
I wonder if they were wearing this Calcite Lapiz Lazuli
and gold
Down into the grave.
(That kind of fucks with me for some reason.)
Nevertheless... Decided to write about it perhaps.

Heart-breaking yet beautiful. Like a dismal winter rain with hypnotic endless drips one can’t stop gazing through.

Dear CO,
This poem, for me, has every element of the human thought process when it comes to the death of someone I know. It makes me wonder what is this living thing all about and why? I think about this especially when the death is sudden and unexpected. Is it surviver guilt? Of just my regular lack of intelligence? I’m sure to never know. I do know that I really thought the images you wrote about were ethereal and lovely and although it was referencing death it was expressively showing beauty next to heartbreak.
Beautifully engaging write. H 🌷

You always bring up such thought
provoking thoughts and concepts, Honoria.
Survivor's Guilt... Such an interesting concept.
And...
The thing about concepts,
in my mind, is that they always have
the potential to be expanded, with deeper contemplation.
I feel like your thought process,
is such that it is possible for you to expand upon
that which is contained in a concept, as your
thinking is quite expansive and cool.
How about this...
What if we will always, both, know and not know?
Is that worse than either, knowing or not knowing?
Thank you for seeing the way you see.
