SEE NO EVIL--updated

SEE NO EVIL

Down through corridors of yellow lights
walls stained by Death’s stench
into a soulless dark I fell

and from behind the curtains forward came
the French I knew call my name

aged beauty mummified
eyes of clear grey glass
figure long ,slender and tall
did to me speak...
and I did fear…

Christ have Mercy
on us all

I feel this is a comment on your recent demise,
corridors of the hospital flickering through your mind
awakening memories and thoughts
that you would rather hide from yourself;
those dreaded stenches and ghostly personages
haunting your moments,
partnering the pain you waltz with in your everyday troubles,
and at the same time
creating a fairy tale atmosphere of unreality
with its veils layered in our line of vision.

Evocative magical and poignant these words my Joe.

yes, Anni. There is more I don't speak,

Thank you, Ian, It must be forgotten. Why me? No answers.

I do not feel you torment these visions. In my own opinion it is your write, your feelings, sometimes misconstrued to the reader and sometimes spot on. I have shared those exact thoughts and feelings my own self and not of self pity either. It is what it is no matter how you slice it. I am happy to see you up and around a bit. Take it slow and know I care

love you friend
Mona
