What are the consolations within his blessed mercies?

Strike the empty resonance
with all the pairing opposites--
so much like all the others.

Really it would have been something
if an occasional affirmation had
loosed from any of your lips,
could have made the difference.
A burning forward at my chest
no more now than a rumor
no senses from suffering
and elemental consequences.
Heart unbroken, unresonant
like a collection of all the others.

All of them,
all these nothing, the same
as bright clean prayers
folded on paper, together
left hanging on stripped branches,
piled upon by subsequent requests
abandoned to the air.

And still, the lightness
all the space, to bear
fully the sighs in freedom

the dual chained links ever unset on my hand

Hey,

I don't know how this will appear, but I'm hoping it's something I can' use to talk to you before you post a comment. I realize it can be a bit of a turn off to have your comments submitted for moderation and not posted immediately. I post every comment I get, I just want to know that I've gotten one. So I'm not as controlling as it may seem. So tell me what you think! Thank you.
