Blue is good. Do you think it reminds him of his own son? Just of his own time?

This is fantastic. Aside from being a beautiful sequence of images and a well structured and lean narrative, it creates 2 easy to realize characters that I kept thinking about well after I finished; both Persephone and you (as the observer.) It makes me think that I’d prefer reading the poetic equivalent of a complete mystery novel to a more traditional form, and this is a taste of what that could be like.

Thank you humbly for such insightful feedback. It’s useful to know when something works, and why.

No… I hit submit by accident. I always appreciate the image of a snowflake on a tongue. It all began when I first saw “merry xmas charlie brown”

You’re turning into a edgy pastoral poet.

I don’t buy into religion. All it caused in my younger days was pain. It’s either a weapon or a crutch. Or a crutch used as a weapon.

I want to believe in something. I guess I believe in Order vs. Chaos. I believe there’s a natural organizing order and when there’s not, there’s chaos. When I say order, I just think of the beautiful things in nature – spider webs, etc. Are order and chaos the core of religious principles? I guess the only difference is that the zealots put human names or apply Godly personifications to those principles. If I believe in anything, am I still buying into those ancient superstitions? I believe in doing “the right thing” over doing “the wrong thing” and that if you do “the wrong thing,” chaos reigns. I just don’t think those guiding principles should come at the expense of stepping on another person’s neck. There’s philosophy 101 from Bryan.

Heavy stuff, man.

I should blush here…. You are right — they behave like it is dogma. Sometimes I think of dogma as a ‘protection’…. if its not dogma, I’m free to argue about it without risking real trouble. people may think I’m a liberal, but if someone censors me I have the right to appeal… and the person who pronounced the censor maybe reprimanded.

Religion is a rather confusing beast… I happen to think the world is better off for having it…. many disagree with me.
