Veritas

I noted the stillness in your hands, the casual arc of your shoulders, a deceitful ease in your voice— as if the world melted into your anima, your eyes spoke the nether language (angelicus anima). I watched your eyes oscillate, a tidal wave of light, gleams of individuation propagating outward, devastating all disguises— quiet fissures in the careful strata of us.

Laura, would you say the "eyes have it?" In any case, I had no idea you had been back recently and were writing. It's a little late for me tonight, but I plan to come back and look at more of your work. I do hope you are well and really get a kick out of seeing you on the site. A lot of time has gone by! Hope you and your family are all well. I just turned 74 so you'll likely have to refresh my memory on some things. Some I do remember! LOL and Smiles. BTW, I am feeling wonderful these days!!
