Description steps echo down halls, alone
with visions of Northern skies
and borderlines
clocks set to July with an exchange
at age twenty-two

we loved, once
when fingers flowed
electric
that channeled ardent luster
through our Jacob’s ladder

as I disappear down
glass corridors
run, the way is lit
to taste the salt
of the only tears I cried

nice!

I can't say i totally understand it, but this piece is amazing in its seeming simplicity and later intricacy, and the way its not the words that are important, but the feeling. Kinda like a literary "mulholland drive"

Appropriate title for this piece. It gives one the feeling of being alone, and remembering loneliness, but not bitterness... I really like how you captured this emotion. I noticed that you titled one of your deviations "Ardent Luster" awhile back, and then those words are used in here. Nice work.

I try to stay away from emotional poetry, but this is good. The feeling in it is conveyed without trying to drown someone in it. That and I like the mention of Jacob's ladder.

Haven't thought about that song in a while...it sets up the whole bit nicely.
