Spelunking


 
 

    Acrylic-Chelsea Bednar
 
 
You told me once that icicles could fall and kill a man
I wasn’t prepared for the one you wielded so haphazardly
The vastness of your cavern of contempt illustrated sharply
A depiction of the many slaves you own on any given day
Digging deep to find the root of the cancer
With blistered psyche and aching heart valves
I finally came upon the treasure chest that concealed the answer
And so with this letter I wanted to let you know
I am fine and I need to stop by and pick up my record collection


For Margaret's Asbstract Prompt on IGWRT.

  1. This goes deep into a certain type of relationship, the ties that bind despite the injuries, and the way those ties are broken one at a time.

  2. Oh, this is so ... well, I just love the twist, the ending. Here you have me going with heavy sentimentality and then the zinger of a last line. Ha ha. Thanks.

  8. Damn, Corey--never leave your record collection with *anybody*! I speak from experience--wonderful use of both clean sharp visuals and a down to earth language to convey the nasty and vicious twist of relationship gone bad.

  10. The new tablet would be a further extension of these concepts and yet
    another step into the future of computing for Apple.
    A person needs to have an active internet connection to be able to access all the headlines
    and information on internet. This secret Taoist soak will wash any lingering worries down the drain and give
    you a fabulous and fresh start.

  11. "The vastness of your cavern of contempt" certainly depicts someone who would kill a man with an icicle. Hope you survive the picking-up of your record collection and the possibility of an ice-pick waiting there with it.

  14. The fitness tips for motivation we've been discussing can be very powerful if you use them. The second option is to use headphones as you probably did at the gym in the past. This type of exercise will increase your cardiovascular endurance, improve your flexibility, increase your muscle strength, improve your balance and can actually reduce the risk of osteoporosis.
