you know, stubar, deleting a person's comment won't help you with this one. again, i say: this teaches me nothing. to fall in love with a person who is tied to another is a soul-rending experience. you piss all over the reader's digest condensed version of it. write about what you know, not what you think you know. your mirror is shallow indeed.

even more absurd, in hindsight. but, oh, to revisit, even for a moment, the halcyon, when those oaths were one's lifeblood...

the ending seems a little clumsy to me, esp. 'the wrong place for each'. i get the sense that these things you sought were all about, yet you focused on where you wanted to find them, unwilling to see them beside you. yes?

it almost seems as though you are using this as a mantra to convince yourself that what you two have will finally save you...

you keep trying on different personas...and there are some ideas broached here...not fully developed...but, then again, your narratives are always immediate, fleshy, salty...which is why this one confused me. whose ever it is is stabbing at metaphysics, but has not lasted their 8 seconds in the flux as yet

h! A 10? methinks the merlot might be gracing you with winegoggles. it's good, but not quite there yet. something is missing to make it a 10. still, after a second read, it holds its head high.
