becomes the All we Know.
in a corner of the corner,
where there seemed only one,
were countless corners,

and those inside them holding to the walls,
for fear of falling through space and time
into the doors of others' worlds,
and forgetting the worlds from which they came.

. . . . .GIOTTO'S COLLAR

GIOTTO'S COLLAR  Clinging to remnants of the fabric of childhood,  with associations contrived to give new meaning,  reversing the inexpressible praeternatural longing  that stymies the logical devices of youthful process thinking, aged children, drooping petals of spent flowers, call to figments of their past,  grasping for understanding,  compassionate renderings of their own histories,  the completion of grounded dreams and expectations, the revelations of constructs that are but fabrications of necessity.
