odd, something inside
speeding like a ghost
sent from relatives long dead;
something ticking there,
a message sent from dad,
something not right,
a weakness and downstairs
seems deeper, steeper,
like a slow-motion fall
to dusky oblivion.
okay, i read you all the time, but haven't had time to comment, but you *know* this title was going to draw me in big time! and the nature of how you penned this ... top notch. esp. the the concept of it being sent/shared by those already passed, the message from dad, etc. i love the invasive, world-stopping shaky nature of this, but also it's connection to something bigger. very creative piece. you get the sweat on the brow and the clammy palm feeling reading it.
