Clip

I've flown high
Meandered
Wandered
Touched my toe
In stillness

Algae grew

It glowed
Underneath the
finger toe
And it
Festered
Rested

It took from me
Moments
Decades

But now nail
Clippers are
my master
Take all
Clip clip

Did it glow?...

There is not much that I can contribute to this. Just wanted to let you know that it did stir the brain cells a little, trying to decided what, if anything I should say about this. I am going to assume; [ not always a good thing] that there is some story behind the last line. I get the reference to the e/clip/se, but is that it? ~ Geezer

Thanks for commenting geezer.

Thanks for commenting geezer...
My thoughts were a little blurry when I wrote this. There is a long story to the Eclipse. A long beautiful one...
The Eclipse has happened, is happening, and will be happening for a long time to come. I'm not sure if that's made any sense. But changes have happened for me. The bold first step has been taken. And it feels amazing...

Tactile feel, a mysterious sense..

Like Geezer, I find it a little mysterious, but nonetheless intriguing - and original, language use from head to toe..as always. And eclipse is a great word, can be used n many contexts - and said in many ways.

Thanks

Take care,

Chris.
