Shari Todd Harris Dunning Part1

No acknowledgement could be 
commensurate nar e'er 
equivalent to countless years (scores of orbitz  
of unexplored wonder) – left...
(with millstones around neck)

to atrophy on severe truncated 
limb mitts, now cause
for silent lachrymose as this 
brother doth brook a wake

his pained self actualization 
(particularly predicated on
decade number six 
unavoidably approaching) uptake

analogous to 2001 A Space Odyssey, 
when closing scene
of the film - image of embryonic 
"Starchild" left a slake

king unshakable reverberation 
Also Sprach Zarathustra
echoing in me noggin since 
opening soundtrack did quake

of a much younger self, when seeing 
the movie did overtake
puzzlement until I read the book 
"aha" awareness did make

that minor mystery resolved, and 
now childhood's end keepsake
recalled as the time thy vulnerable 
psychological state did intake

pelting asteroid storm cratering a boy 
who shied away, to forsake
growing up, and now haunted (akin 
to ghost of Marley) not "FAKE"

shackled to an un freed spirit, that 
got squelched as if a sudden brake
got jammed propelling this then puny 
body electric...now doth ache.
