EMPTY CHAIR

He promised
no harm would come to her
ever
what foolishness
him to offer
and her to believe
like desperate
priest and supplicant
offering and believing
smoke and mirrors
wine and bread
words words words
remember death comes
for pope and pauper
alike trapped in time
three score and ten
more or less

How do you do that? A simple chair, photographed in a simple setting, and it turns out spectacularly.

Mark,
The Blogger system seems to be misfiring today. You definitely are not anonymous, my friend. Some day we'll sit down for coffee. I look forward to your BLOG every day. Many thanks.
