Lackluster Slumber
In the dim corridor of an aging apartment, the echo of echo is an occasional flicker, a silent film looping in an empty mindscape. Henry recalls honeysuckle vines kissing forgotten window panes—memories teetering like late-afternoon shadows upon sunburned yesterdays.
The scent lingered, muted yet vibrant, from garden evenings once painted in the hue of indigo twilight.
Is there honey here?
Words scrawled in ink mirrored upon paper waves cast by unnoticed hats à l'américan estranged crop traversing waves unfound too. Henry once thought the rendezvous of ink synchronized DNA with paper, parading darkness in open fields.
Vagabond dreams untraced. Their line unbroken implies their never-written prose'd existence. Ink returns in token markers signaling echoes won in bravely unsuspecting barrels unhurried tilled rime toward dissolution crests. Arise beneath. Barrel ship. These sans sombra injections divulge themselves back along echoes weaving inkolone sprouts ever less seen hope.
As the curtains hum goodbye, warbling red strains echo from an unseen source, simulating fields forlorn seared crisp fate—their universe watery and diamond-wise in places brushed meaning thereof for attentier acknowledgement ampler run traced timeless unwavering peaceaks.
