I have no rings, but i can leave. There is magic in the seed buried in the orange mud that cool autumn day I was born. My legs are not rooted.

Under the holy black sod that are the sapling's home, where that humus turns to rocky clay. I know that smell too. I know the smell of rain, caressed -- Held -- long into the morning until the sun calls her home.

I don't know that this is a holy testament to the expanse of knowledge -- unknowable. unknown. and yet easily revealed in a juvenile fit of fancy, before being misunderstood, buried again, and forgotten for years and years, until the boy is dead and buried in the heart of a man he never dreamed. ... more anstey Release the Hounds Sat, 01 Nov 2008 19:24:40 GMT /section-29-release-the-hounds#comments 0 https://dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/comments/post.php/article/4088 https://dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/comments/feed.php/article/4088 https://dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/links/trackback.php?anchor=article%3A4088 https://dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/article-4028-catching-up https://dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/article-4028-catching-up Sometimes, I make poor choices.
