It is midnight now – the witching hour<\/p>\n
I am drinking honeyed whiskey and writing<\/p>\n
in something other then obsidian ink –<\/p>\n
so clearly whatever is haunting me now<\/p>\n
is not you is not cinnamon or orange juice.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I am not sobbing about the cities we did<\/p>\n
not get to visit or the poems you chose\u00a0not<\/p>\n
to read so process of elimination –<\/p>\n
this is NOT about you. It will be the<\/p>\n
storm’s prime time soon – with more<\/p>\n
flooding and too much unnoticed magic<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
.Shortly after that it will be the<\/p>\n
artists hour and even the things that<\/p>\n
have never made sense to anyone<\/p>\n
gardless of their mental state or<\/p>\n
abilities will be crystal and powerful.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
People will gather and revel and you –<\/p>\n
you will realize just how much there was<\/p>\n
to miss. You will understand the haunting<\/p>\n
of a lingering poem and the way the<\/p>\n
computer eats thoughts from us all.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
And time will continue to fly by<\/p>\n
because I have conditioned myself<\/p>\n
to this and for all the right reasons –<\/p>\n
no one would ever notice the cracks.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
