Kindred

My Kindred at Las Golondrinas July 2009

I write to put down thoughts, images.

I put it down to not lose it, but to save a fragment.

The fragment demands narration, almost imperious.

And, then there is you to hear it yes hear it.

A holy trinity of me, you and the imperious fragment.

My kindred.

  1. “Holy trinity…” what a gracious, peace-inducing thought.

    • I think so, too. That term was my second revision and seemed to put together what I and we go through in writing. I don’t want it to go away, this imperious quality of the narrative, our story, so I kinda leave it alone and not scare it away. You write a lot and know the dynamics. The writer (I), reader (you), the story: three components. Thank you for commenting. -Jack.
