I did a short stanza at the end of "Fill My Eyes". However, the ending was powerful, so I removed it from the final draft. Here it is in print for the first time.
Makes no difference what I say
Nor how I act
If I can pass the sign that points one way
I won't look back when I say
"Goodbye to Yesterday"
And walk away unscathed

Maybe you should have left it in the book somewhere, since I've read this very interesting and powerful book. It says a lot, in a few words!

'Coruscated Confabulations' is a collection of stories and experiences, most of which took place in prior decades. They are taken from or based upon real events, with a certain admixture of fictional embellishments.
The bulk of the collection is eight short stories that are set in yesteryear. The compilation is filled out with four entertaining fantasy pieces and three poems.
