well i don't know if you don' t know... but whatever it's about it's good. it's got all this tragedy, and then a genius touch with the orderly line (to death?) thing going on, it seems to be a statement on reality. are we being fed death intraveiniously??

touching too, is the idea of lilacs with bowed heads and violins crying. it's like a _huge_ statement, a drama, a flurry of thought so large it's hard to sum up.

did i even say anything of substance in all those words?? because what i was trying to say is ~*wow*~ there is so much room for thought and interpretation on this one, it's just amazing. awesome, awesome, awesome!!

Really beautiful! And I find a lot of truth in it, expressed so poetically. Bookmarked.

If life is a waiting room, Rik, you are an unusually interesting magazine...

given me shivers down my back reading it -
I think if you repeat the first stanza it woulg be better - sorta like poe's "Hark the raven, nevermore'' with the drip drop tick tock if you chose to repeat it.

The "what it's about" for me is our time on earth is a waiting room just like you say. We are waiting to move on to another time, another life, another place. I see death, loss, grief, and saddness and the ever asking of "why did this happen." Also because we are only in the waiting room, I also see hope. Good one

I like it. It is chaotic and symbolic enough to get me in the waiting room as well. Good write.
