UNFINISHED
Con/Jur/d, 3/5/2025
Later, we would stop reading the author for other reasons, but
then it was due to his refusal to continue working on the series
we liked, we didn’t understand (at a certain age) this
BETRAYAL
the necessity of walking away from the plot
The Teacher, clarified saying, “In your life what is most
important the beginning, the middle
THE END
And yes, we tell stories at funerals, at memorials and if (they are) loud enough
if they are heroic enough, if ugly enough, if beautiful enough, if the
ABSENCE
disrupts the self soothing tales
enough, someone will make a book, a reflection, a movie
for profit sure, yet, mostly to cover the
GAP
providing a faux bridge, with clearly labeled ends
GOOD EVIL
overcoming
the essential messy mystery
THIS IS NOT HOW IT WORKS
you ask us to explain
you ask for context
we can confess to you, these stories are for living
there have been moments of being pulled from
DEEP
DEEP
sadness
by a
PROMISE OF FINISHING
like King Shahryar
and Čīhrāzād
we would continue in HOPE
hiding from you
hiding from us
the defining human truth
we will always be
UNFINISHED
Transit Con/Jur/d, 3/6/2024 We’ve been assigned a purpose to walk purposeless, to learn to wander without labels: dismiss nothing You’ve said a few things kind and cruel a deep admiration, undeserved and a quick understanding which misunderstands what was said in passing, what we SHOUT (the wind whips by) We’ve been having a conversation, often unbeknownst to you, but IT IS ongoing if we see the road from BIRTH to DEATH as a sort of passage, we can’t but discuss this transition, even if we speak differing languages, everything You’ve said, we’ve said, translates into a variation of HELLO or GOODBYE no matter how badly we mangle the TRANSLATION.
Much love,
