Forty Four Words of Vital Statistics
Arithmetic of their resuscitated hearts
Extract roots of serpentine secrecy,
Multiplies her lover’s passion
Ethylene twilight divides flame into bone,
For everything sacred has been written
When water loses her noise
Cortege of caves crumble,
We will say only this -
We survived to love

Author's Note
For my life, my God, I'm singing. Have to give blood later, I should probably just take this keyboard. Happy St David's Day for any who give a flying fuck.

Maths is not my strong point. In my village, we have a large abacus that the elders sometimes let us use. It's next to the large bucket.
I write, because I must Lori. It's such a release.......

This line is amazing:
For everything sacred has been written
Shit. That was amazing in its context.
Love the defy the odds thing. I have a structure question : do you have each line capitalized as a preference? It makes a full stop on each line and I am just super nosey to know if that’s intentional 🙂

Appreciate the kind comments Betty. Diolch.
Structure? Dunno to be honest. Guess it's from habit and mimicking my fave writers as an awkward teenager. There are probably conventional and accepted norms to these things. Interesting point.

I love ethylene twilight I would make that the name of a collection of your poetry. When water loses her noise, when the rest is silence, as the bard said, we are left with the ghosts of those we loved. There is no point of reference in a void vacuum and, truly, there really is no such thing, only energies in their dances.

At the risk of repeating myself my friend, you truly get the complexities and sensitivities of me. Thanks DC.

I love your work Rob, have not read a poor effort yet.
Great word combinations... ethylene twilight is inspired.
I'm always teetering on the edge of full comprehension, which, dare I say, is where you don't mind the reader being. Offering a nice little challenge. But the over all theme usually hits me the face.
Enjoying your work.

Very kind BITS. It is reciprocated. Just really enjoy writing, it offers escapism and is cathartic I guess.
