ESSENTIAL INEVITABILITY

ESSENTIAL INEVITABILTY  I am a brief flame
A dying ember
Of a star
Raging far into the universe
Part of an event
Magnificent
Glorious and holy
This humanikind
 Meaningful insignificance
Born to
Essential inevitability
Of death and resurrection
Holding my own
Part of a Whole
Through
And
Beyond an End I look back to see
The moment   behind me 
Already my history
Singular yet universal
By design.
I am
Fading away
Soon to be a stronger flame
In some other time
In some other space…
 In a holier place
— Geremia, Feb 23, 2010

Dear Longobardolino love from me.

Ann of Norway With good grace. You will you will I know you will. And in this life you tell, relate to us, the story none of us would dream of seeing, understanding; and yet we do, we know how strong this sense of loss takes hold of you before 'tis gone, and sense the terror of its song, at times screaming the refrain, at others wailing sadly in its melancholia, but in between this sandwiched beautifully is your bold bright spirit that sees fit to spread the news of your difficulties and we relate again, and again, and feel with you the strain of its demonic power and wish for you a pleasant hour with us, as you sit down and take this bus of life to destinations none of us know of. Pling there goes the bell, and we shall see a wonderful time with thee, you'll see! Dear Longobardolino love from me.
