“Where did life go? Every day I find myself asking this one same question of the mirror, yet the answer always eludes me. All I see is a stranger staring back…pain nags at my neck and I marvel at the minor miracle that my body has held out this long. Sometimes it feels as if it is held together by little other than strings of memories and sinews of hope. The mind is a museum coated in dust.
But I was a young man once, so young and green, and that can never change. Memory allows me to be so again.
I knew not what language could do then. I did not yet understand the power and potency of words. The complex magic of language was as alien as the altered country that I saw around me during that summer…
The whole place needs a lot of work but I am too ancient for all that now…the old word processor still functions though. There’s power in the both of us, there is electricity, and while it is still there I have something to share.
Sitting here now by the open window, a glissando of birdsong on the very lightest of breezes that carries with it the cent of a final incoming summer, I cling to poetry as I cling to life.” @benmyers76 #theoffing #novel #inspiration @element_pictures @catalystglobalmedia | Posted on 20/Feb/2023 00:53:35
