The Causal Principle by =clownscape:iconclownscape:



He had painted the picture of nothing but a solitary teardrop on a piece of black carbon paper. On the other side of the paper he had laid down the river.

Night bloomed in the river, that morning. Reflected onto the air above. Paintbrushed into a random breeze.

She woke up that morning into the dark, tear-strained. She knew at the primacy of her senses, that this wasn’t an eclipse. It was blindness. One of those denser forms of darkness where you can’t see anything even when you close your eyes. For it pours into your nervous system. She’d never see him again.

Standing there on the riverbank, he realized she’d never be able to comprehend his gift. Or understand it.

He tore off his tear.

Interesting, i can't help but note the curiosity that this conjures, or the quaint matter in which it is composed. odd how the smaller compilations give such a minute, irresistible flavor?

Love is foolish when handled by fools, but caution blows it too the wind.
Short is sweet, as they say.

It's good to know that you liked it.

Smile.

It's poetic. Even if it's not a poem it still have that beauty of poetry to it. Amazing job. I really like this.

Live by the pen and pencil and you live free.
This is even more cryptic than your usual stuff. Personally I prefer your older pieces like Uncle and a river measured in time, but this is good too.

Congrats on the DD.
