Wow, this one's difficult to comment on, but at the same time seems to merit comment. There is sort of an eerie, beautiful sensation that draws the reader in here. I particularly like: 'I have made an art of hurting Myself, and art should not be tamed.'

My mind kinda moves all over the place while reading this. I find it puzzling. It actually makes me a bit uncomfortable, lol. Really nice writing. I can’t shake the image of the hollowed out tree-trunk!

Beautifully written, with such a striking undertone. Makes me want to get out and spend some time with the moon tonight.

I haven't even gotten to the reading of this and I gotta tell you I love your opening comment. My mind constantly does that with words.. There are so many patterns that it's beautiful and overwhelming at the same time. Anyway, now I will finish reading, lol.

Yep. We work and work to keep our empty houses looking clean and shiny. Maybe one day water will be free?

Really well written. "His stand-in" is a nice touch- disgusting but appropriate. Unfortunately, it's all too often that these self appointed prophets stand on soapboxes and spew hate, instead of doing something that might actually draw people to God.

I feel like you've just described me, lol. I talk a lot and even get frustrated with myself for oversharing. We can be flibbertigibbets together.

I really enjoyed this one. It's bold, but still has a softness. I love the use of the language, personally. It grabs the reader, flows easy, and then closes with a similar energy to the opening. And there's something else. Is there an urgency? Anyway, this is a bookmark for me. Well done.

This one doesn’t seem to hold your usual playfulness, Ken. There’s a soft sadness.. Words fail me in the commenting here, but as always, I’ve enjoyed reading your work.

‘i'm a mime that likes dialogue
with a tongue that keeps being bitten
i punish myself in that way; in fear of being wrong
my thoughts only have me as a witness’
Wow. Sometimes when reading I suddenly feel very ‘not alone’ in this big, wide world. This is one of those times. Very nice

Donnybrook, eh? I’m gonna make it my goal to fit this into conversation some time this week! Or perhaps I’ll write a poem!

Beautiful. The rich imagery of the dark, almost dangerous deep of the heart, and the quiet longing here, is a stirring combination. Also, I love the ending! It closes with hope and a whisper of life!

Beautifully written.. I’m thankful that you chose to be that historian.
It makes me remember a time when I argued with a lady over what truly constitutes a miracle. She believed that even life itself is not a miracle, that birth was a commonplace event. Whether seemingly commonplace or not, I believe we’re surrounded by miracles. We just have to open our eyes.

“There is a Melancholia*

Perfect ending to this, and true.
Fun fact: I stayed up and watched the movie the other night. It has haunted me ever since!

I love the title, the opening line, and the sort of double edge that this little poem holds. Really well done.
