obituary

by Richard Trotter

He said can you feel,
the jaws of crimson clouds?
Do you know the paradox
of owning every hour
in a neverending cube?
And I will breathe a rainbow
to blur the peoples' faces
and ask a final question:
is a single tornado,
better than a million windy days?

Text well reflective of its title Richard. I especially like those thought provoking last two lines. Sounds like someone who's had a major impact on you.

I too wonder what the final thoughts were like, and shudder at the slightest touch of empathy. I can't even imagine, but you've managed to capture a piece of what it might have been like. VERY thought provoking. This one is going to haunt me, I think.
