ARGUMENT
I thought that ashes couldn't re-scatter,
would stay still in a mourner's urn,
that the earth had buried all departed words.
Why is the ground giving up arguments,
letting them crawl to the surface like red ants,
pushing deceit again,
each phrase not sand
but a prelude to battle?
I thought the end was the end,
but as long as there is one mind standing,
I must watch letters crawling,
trying to sting and kill
or maybe just hurt so bad
one more time.

Hi JStar-
Welcome, and thanks so much..just looked at your blog..really super!!
oh Lyn, bravo!, this is wonderful xxo
Very powerful, Lyn. I'm sure we can do this to ourselves, rehashing old arguments, even when there's no longer an opponent. All it needs is a trigger.
Hi Jeane-
Thanks so much for your kind words...
Hi Derrick-
Thanks..I believe we always do it to ourselves, because we stay.. the cure may be to just move on!
