transcontinental
it still stands
crowning the northernmost outcrop
of the island
that great phallic monolith
interior circled with stairs
exterior turgid and red
right to the tip where
once again light gushes
in a display of dominance over its domain
i am here for the first time in many years
having never thought to return
to this place freighted with cargo
not yet jettisoned
but my hejira has begun
since i am condemned to live
and must until my thread is snipped
i will face old ghosts
look them in the eye unwavering
and lay them in their graves
for good and aye
this haunted spit of land
is my first stop of many
so here i stand naked to the soul
unflinching
unpacking the resident pain that
unnoticed by the carefree pilgrims
flocking to this playground by the sea
blankets every step of this
my personal trail of tears
and shredding that portion of the blanket
i throw it
handful after handful
into the waves
not caring if neptune himself
rises from the deep
outraged as i litter his kingdom
when i am done
purged of this portion of sorrow
i turn to continue
to the next placeholder of pain
and after i will visit the next
and the next and the next
every remaining pocket of memory
shrouded by sorrow
to bless them all with my scraps
until the blanket is no more

Very nice work. YOu have command of the digital painting technique.
RC DeWinter replied:
Many thanks, Jeff, if my eyes would cooperate with my hand I'd be painting in oils. Alas...I must use mouse and filter brushes.
