journey

He joined a jeopardous journey
Not gleeful about going on a gurney
They boxed his body and bones
With more than mournful moans
Imagine if they were too early

(a journey in the form of an alliterative limerick for day two of Writing 201)

(and for lucile’s the clinic – photo rehab)

*shot with nikon d700, 16-35mm f4 nikkor lens, edited in aperture 3, analog efex pro2, wet plate filter number 9, not gleeful about being underground*

dark thoughts they may yet not drown
shift and twist inside

“if you ever see a symmetrical human face, you will have the impression that you ought to think it beautiful, but that in fact you find it cold
the human heart likes a little disorder in its geometry”

“…clarice

will you let me know if ever the lambs stop screaming?”

― thomas harris, the silence of the lambs

…the phone trilled

holding it to her ear

as she looked into the woods

she heard

the

silent “béé”

of, the

lamb
