What is on the other side of stillness?
What makes you think that you know?
Most people don't know...many things. For instance.
Do you know, what it means, when they say the bodies
were stacked like a cord of wood? Did you know
when the body becomes dessicated, after death, it
collapses.
And the sides cave in. And, unless the person was
obese, it becomes very very slender. Almost rod-like.
You can stack bodies like this close together in a small
space and you'll get a lot of economy out of it. This
is how they stack bodies in a war zone, military people,
they love efficiency. Anyway, that's the meaning of the
expression.

skinnydave - I am more a Becoming Clear.
Patrick Frank - Thank you. You're still one of the most unvarnished varmints here.
tg within - What? (Really, I have some idea of what you mean--but clarity is not a crime, sir, and sometimes the indeterminacy that stands in for smarts is not so smart as it thinks. A little straightforwardness goes a long way.)
romanticpoetess - Not really a guide, more of a nudge.
BOKO - I cast where I may!
Linnnn - You are a woman of many n's. I can appreciate that. And thank you.
Harold - I do not spelunk. I do however on occassion forget to come up for air.
Sam - Tone is everything, is it not?
themanhattankid - To chill or not to chill...
lorianne - It was the only tag I could think of, of those offered "officially". Maybe Poetry would have been better. There are those who think that art should not deal with such things. I think they're wrong. Dead wrong.
