The Anachronist



she walked
the cemeteries
where trees
had grown tall
believing that
with the tickle
of a name
on the brain
she would
dis-cover him

Or perhaps he's already haunting her. (Hugs)Indigo

Fearing and loathing what used to be, he rests in fallowed ground, trembling, soon to be dis-covered.

Indigo, I would think yes.

Nevine, I like those layers upon layers.

Jackie, a very apt addition! :)

Szelsofa, convergences like that are cool when they happen. Maybe we're all not as distanced as I would think.

... of course anyone that knows me would also know my reaction (based in solid realism): time to get out the shovel and break ground.

JR, as soon as you find the place to dig, I say go for it.
