• Welcome to The Cave of Dragonflies forums, where the smallest bugs live alongside the strongest dragons.

    Guests are not able to post messages or even read certain areas of the forums. Now, that's boring, don't you think? Registration, on the other hand, is simple, completely free of charge, and does not require you to give out any personal information at all. As soon as you register, you can take part in some of the happy fun things at the forums such as posting messages, voting in polls, sending private messages to people and being told that this is where we drink tea and eat cod.

    Of course I'm not forcing you to do anything if you don't want to, but seriously, what have you got to lose? Five seconds of your life?

The Breath Inwards

I'm all alone on this rock in space,
with the breath inwards.

Somewhere out there is a handsome young man in a trench coat,
panting,
breath outwards,
trying to catch up.
I'm too fast for him.
His feet get stuck in the mud.
There is no mud for me.

He ran to Abigail, though he hardly knew her before the castle was built,
even less now.
He cried on her shoulder,
she patted his back
and whispered words of comfort in his ear.
If only he knew I could see.

The game continues.
He returns with strengthened resolve.
Determined this time,
gaze unwavering,
and he can almost reach out
and touch me
- I am at the horizon.

But I am the horizon.

And I'm all alone on this rock in space,
with the breath inwards.
