Ashes and Aught

0 observations

A brooding reflection on his self-imposed isolation after his second divorce while he "detoxed" his heart.

Ashes and Aught

how hard grows a heart in silence
the violence of isolation
the absolute zero of self-immolation
and soon there is nothing but ashes
ashes and aught and naught
for seeking fingertips to hold onto

    Explaining the Tags

    You will note, gentle reader, that all works under this blog now display "tags" to help classify and assign the works for your review and enjoyment.

    These largely fall into 4 categories:

    Year of writing, e.g. "1999"
    Book published in, e.g. "from an unexpected quarter"
    Inspiring muse, e.g. "Aubergine"
    Genre, e.g. "erotica"

    We are still in the process of cleaning up the tags, so please bear with us. Yes, some muses are classified under more than one tag, some poems appear in more than one book, or not yet in any volume, and some years are...hazy.
