Calligraphy

We drink the cup
A strange kind of calligraphy
We are bound by a name
Strapped down and crying
We tap our head
The space between thought and doing is too great to bear
The cracks are red
Dark and tinged
We lie back in the red bed
The cans rattle around us
We drink the cup
A strange kind of calligraphy.

  3. Yes, "the space between thought and doing is too great to bear." Had to chuckle at "the cans rattle around us."

  7. This strange calligraphy is a testament perhaps of this conflict. "The space between thought and doing is too great to bear": Well-penned.

  17. Ah, the space between thought and doing. Often fraught or unattainable.
