And while she was
clawing out
the sub conscious ponderings
on definition a, b or c
(in the smallest font in the quietest corner)
of her defeated-ness,
she saw their labyrinthine thread
had finally severed.
Her heart stilled,
begging for calibration,
a gentle reworking –
the intricate cut-outs of their pain
into simple shapes.
(this beautiful song, and video of estranged brothers reunited)
When I read you it seems you speak the peculiar language of my very person. Quirky, unexpected…. a little cryptic. It’s terrific 💕

A gloriously insightful poem Vanessa, and this piece is especially more superb,
“Her heart stilled,
begging for calibration,”
I can’t play the music yet, my my computer is broken !!

Loved this enigmatic piece, Vanessa. I read it a few times, thought about sorrow, symbols and recalibration, and about buying a super vine rake. Finally my record player told me There’s nothing you can know that isn’t known. Good one, record player.

Thank you so much Steve. I’m honoured if you love anything I write. I seriously laughed out loud when I read the rake comment you slipped in there. And your record player was obviously referring to the expert way Mr Helpful Guy was using the rake… 🙂
