You, the Line, and I (Free verse) by MacFrantic
Here I shall draw a line. And it will run long- Wrapping through the alleys. It will run deep. Bleed into the street- Far down to the blackest soil. And this line- With no end in sight- Sets us so many miles apart. _____________________________ Now you curse the barrier. Though it is just- And so admittedly fair. Words caress the horizen. Calls beckon the line to bend- Calls in vain. We arrive at swift glances. Considering the circumstances- No meaning comes of them. But another line appears. More defined than the first- Which closes fast upon us.

Up the ladder: The Shape of Shadows
Down the ladder: Back Slidin'

how we go from resolution made to more resolute and cannot turn back,... learn those who can make it work they should not foul their chance for coming back after the line is drawn may only earn another hard- put line... love this....

I hate these lines beween us, but see them too. The other line could be death, but could be the anti-line. I hope so.
