Thump-thump of stiffening fish contorting
   In the bilge beneath the gunwale;

Among-st those who...

The night was tranquil and held no fear.
Until came a sound ascended from Hell.
I heard a menacing cry as I drew near.

callused old feelings well hidden

Take a ride in Old Vermont across the covered bridges
Wander through the woods of Maine on down east running ridges 
Stop and face the hard...

her holy heart he did deceive.

gold edges winking seductively as they pirouette past reaching limbs.
Like blazing dreams they mesmerize me as the sun glimmers silver

Moms and dads trying not to throw away toys
As they gather up scads of shredded Christmas wrapping
Grandmas begging them to keep the bows.

Blinking twinkling Christmas tree looking less magical,

Gone for a fourth of a century
And yet I can plainly see
My mother's face in the mirror
Looking back at me.

Those lines around the eyes.
She shakes her head and whispers,
"It should be...

We've all been hurt
contained ~ for reasons, not our own
like some source of infamy
the world could not condone!
