The Choice

Brian Looney

    Our fingertips dangle with every wave, graceful in despair, blowing in the stream. Some would say we stretch, others think we lean. The truth is we do neither.

    It is deceptive, but our truest parts are immovable, are unaffected. Let the wind take all the rest: we keep all the core, all the lovely rings. And then count them when it’s over.

    The terrible trees, said didactic mothers, the terrible, ghostly tees. And they do have shrouds: draping, flowing, cascading. Some dive in and don’t return. Some people.

    It’s not that our lives are snuffed. We made the choice ourselves. There is a mute romanticism, a listening sensation, that appeals to a patient few. But let’s not drape it all in velvet.

    Scream-Cloud Island thrives on blood, and I came with a will to spill. That’s the bone-dry truth.
