Appointed missive

By Francis Scudellari

Appointed missive I
Shoot out blindly, a-cross
Vast stretches, e'er hopeful,
Not to wound, but just prick
A passerby with words
Sharp enough, surface scratch,
Superficial op'ning
My slow-drip thoughts enter,
With coursing blood mingle,
Then spread, unsuspected

beh!
se dipingi così le tue giornate-momenti...
tutto pittoresco, "Then spread, unsuspected"
domani senti una cosa diversa,
capisci ancora l'oggi?

I feel differently each tomorrow. That's just my changeable nature. But what I felt each yesterday is still a part of me that I may bring forth again some day.

Thanks Colin ... it's actually one of my favorites too.
