Among Fallen Furs
Standing silently
I almost forget to breath,
a graveyard of old trucks
among the fallen fur trunks
each rusted spot bearing
another tall tale, each growing
a little more with every storm,
for their voices my heart mourns.
But to silent contemplation
I return as shadows turn crimson.

"I almost forget to breath,
a graveyard of old trucks
among the fallen fur trunks
each rusted spot bearing
another tall tale, each growing
a little more with every storm" simply amazing---to grow with the destructive fury of a storm. This is putrefaction in reverse dear; the creation of a graveyard with the image of growth. My brain itches. Bravo Sarah.
Ever Yours,
