The Tunnel

wayra trapped in a tunnel channel for careless choices bright lights, brilliant colors fade with fear of vows broken. The way out: turn around to truth.

thanks, Eve, I liked your Ramsgate piece, is that a real tunnel? the alliteration is great: existence echoes emptiness and the "powdered rouge" - perfect, gritty.

Doing a 180 in the middle of the wrong highway. Difficult but oh so rewarding. Thanks, Kim.
