MARK


“…there comes a time
when you cannot go further in a straight line
unless you examine your conscience
with a willingness to catch any cute idea you might have of yourself
to sacrifice it
in order to save whatever can be saved
from the ensuing explosion of pain. Beyond a wall of flames
the road and you
make together one” said the woman. She had a red mark above the right
eyebrow. I wonder what that was.

  1. Thank you, Reading_Is_Dangerous,
    for painstaking, arresting,
    poetic traces
    for to see not "through a glass darkly,"
    your priceless integration of art to words.

  3. Je crois que quoi que soit le chemin que l'on prend,
    soit t'il tout droit
    ou completement circulaire...
    le plus important c'est de sareter souvent sur la route et de regarder et remarquer et aprecier ,que ce soit beau ou terrifiant ,ce quil y a allentour de soi .
    Comment peut on s'attendre a progresser sur notre chemin si nous n'aprenons rien des pas que nous avons deja faits ?
