fourth

and sometimes it is the absence of sorrow.
weavers. spinning, casting, spinning, spinning.
streams of colours that entwine silken tombs.
empty tombs. waiting colours. and rain.
almost always it is the absence. it is swift.
swift to come, swift to go, swift to change.
metamorphose into beauty. change. sorrow. change. lustre.
change. absence. again it is the absence.
it flies. on wings of molten stone. frozen - and fluid -
silken birdsong. change. chatter. change. words.
heard, sung, said, shouted, screamed, thought.
change. sorrow. change. beauty. change absence.
it's not colours. not just yet. but something close to.
it's not thought. not just yet. but something close to.
it's not beauty. not just yet. but something close to.
swift to catch. swift to hold. swift to let go.
almost always. the absence of sorrow. the sorrow of absence.
not both. but quite. almost never. only ever.
change. now. change. then. change. flutesong.
it's always that. the absence of sorrow.

sorrow.

Ages since i commented on your blog.
Your writing hasn't changed at all.
Thank god.
And Mind-Mapping : What do you mean by that, do you like Rajasee's posts? or do you like everything in the world. If it's the latter then does "everything" also include people, and in that case, do you like Steven Seagal? Yes?

My word verification word is Perandis- its like a mixture of Piranhas, Persepolis, paralysis,jaundice. what else.
bleh.
