Fiction

a story of his own

Fiction

He would laugh all his days
Try to catch the imaginary butterfly in his hands
Feel the itch of fiction roll along the backside
Swear himself off reality with middle finger
saluting the air
Now his breath was fiction
Family only a story book away.

Wow. What a powerful story with memorable lines to quote and cherish. I see the constant battle in our minds between fiction and reality, life and death, inhaling things and exhaling things. I felt the sadness of this man with the unfortunate outcomes. You are a real poet...:)...............
