All that's left of her,
confined in two dimensions.
Fading, she still lives.
A Musical ClerihewI can't help feeling leery
about Blossom Dearie.

She does things to Cole Porter
nobody oughta
Distances
They remain strangers,
neither aware of the other,
close, yet far apart.

Never will their lives unite,
no shared secrets of the heart.
Seaside 2
This is the world's edge,
or so our ancestors thought.
The turbulent seas

constantly devour the land,
frequently smash our frail boats.
MemorialisingIt was finally decided to build a monument
to those who had survived. The dead, we considered,
are far beyond the reach of hope. There is not marble
enough in the world to atone for so much suffering.

For those who would never again answer to a friendly
or a formal name, we would lay out parks where
willows could weep through seasons they would
neither remember nor forget. And beds of pansies

could remind us all of the consolations of colour.
We would save the stone to build the survivors homes.

Revelation

:iconalecbell:

What can the child know
of an adult's despair?
Will the image remain

to darken his dreams, waking him
as he lies cocooned in night?

I think it will. At the very least, he will remember, even if he does not dream it.
