Big Six

Elegy for Paul Anthony

By RL StevensonPublished 3 years ago • 1 min read
A man of great stature, they called him "Big Six."

Big Six…

Every place, you are missing,

In the womb of end.

*****

Porcelain dolls stare into the

Unreachable glass blue infinity….

*****

…the melody of time skips a beat.

Eternity applauds.

*****

The clang of the clouds,

As they beat against the Sun,

drowns your voice.

*****

Swallowed in that woolly mammoth box.

Seventy-two and six inches long.

*****

The woman of your youth,

Young again, will come of age to loneliness.

Your life, esteemed on the triptych.

Though you left her behind.

*****

Supposition mystifies more than death.

*****

Hope at the precipice of imagination…

….but, memory serves to taunt.

The playwright is absurd…

*****

…B-Rated tragedy!

Elegy
