Anniversary

Then, 

Together a year, brim

Full of laughter and 

Of tears. 

Soul-knowledge is

Made not born. 

Vows can be intended

Or spoken out loud. 

Lives twine like vines and,

Like vines, they sprout

And they grow. 

McTuffany

"It's catastrophic! Unbelievable!," is reportedly how the Vatican first responded to the news of the Supreme Court's ruling in the McTuffany case. Widely accepted as the most controversial decision in the recorded history of jurisprudence, the Supreme Court today declared Jesus Christ to be legally dead, after not being seen and no reliable evidence being produced to suggest that He was still alive, for the past seven years, as prescribed by law. 

S

"S" is not a hard

Consonant

It bleeds

Out it's

Meaning

Over time

Sailor

Poor sailor in

An open boat

These siren seas do

Deign to float

In Preparation

I left my heart 'neath

The aegis of the

Homestead's hearth,

It's radiant glow to

Shield and shrive, while

I the moors did wander

Mind as minefield.

Speaking of memory, while reworking some older poems some displaced fragment from the past threatened to upset my equilibrium. It was something about writing, of having laid down personal descriptive detail on a cast of characters. Whether a movie, book, story or play, I did not try to remember. The memory had a decidedly unpleasant aura so that I turned my mind from it and proceeded to ram it back down to wherever it had come from. I think that I was at least partially successful, as the discomfort receded.
