Emblem

6 of clubs laying faceup in the snow.

Beside

the home an oyster

once knew. Lost.

Desolate.

Alone. Fir trees bend shadows

from above twinkling lights from

in between the white walls

that hold us from moving.

Snow diamonds shine in the

preafternoon light

wear me on its finger,

the slave to the minority. Logos

change to suit 7 while the

70 times 7 live on in

quiet indifference to the birthright they

abandon.

I love this one. Don't know why, I just do. I love how it's abstract and you're playing with form. Very neat! :)

I love that it's abstract too. I wrote it on a bus, literally looking at a playing card in a snow pile!

Go figure! :-)

lol nice. It's weird how some people seem to see things entirely differently than others... to most, that card would have been litter on the ground, but to you it was more than that.
