A chance encounter interrupted by a man-made firebomb. A journey that culminates in an ending. Your story rings of truth and validity, it is brutal honesty, no sugar coating, based on experience I assume. A stark telling of a true tale. I enjoyed the surprise ending. - Phil A.

From the responses above, I think I won’t stick around to add to the confusion and not contemplate those big blue mascaraed eyelashes and self-harm either, Neville.
Nothing wrong of itself with not being about love – each to their own……

Honest and exploitative-not fluffy- with a dash of regret? Thank you for bringing reality to your stories, Nev…

Once again you provoke the thoughts of the reader, or maybe I am just dense (totally possible... probable). A holocaust of thoughts that on an individual level is life with a borderline personality that finds no joy in life vacilating in energy filled withj feelings of shame living in a living hell of their own and creating the same for others. Often self abusive the question is whether the last reference to napalm is a metaphor for the personality or a reference to an actual holocaust. Very nice Neville

Hmm, and thus begins the latest new chapter of Last Train from Canton. As steamy and passionate as eager hearts wanted, ah, how excellently rendered with appropriate imagery and such a taunting poignancy, don\'t ask us where we found ourselves after the indulgence. Lovely. Thank you for sharing.

Tick Tock... I never take time for granted. Did you shake her a bit, to check her status.... ever gently of course. God bless her demise. Hope you weren\'t Ticked Off. 🎃🎃🎃😎

Might it be like a scarecrow, stuffed with hay...
Then the wind blows and its stuffing blows away
it hangs on to the inaudible sound in the dust
Says to himself, I feel this predicament is a bust
...Quite profound dear Neville.. Happy Halloween

Sound is always present except in a vacuum. Yet even there, your ears would detect something. It is the sound of silence. It\'s like background noise for your brain. It\'s most likely of a high frequency. When, or if, it becomes audible and nothing is there, it could be tinnitus. Sorry for being so technical, but it was just my first reaction to your poem. - Phil A.

Inaudible reminds me of the range at which canines hear what we don’t; a bit random in relation to this poem, but perhaps some connection can be surmised.

As I increasingly deafen, I\'ve come up with the mantra \'Can\'t hear it, don\'t bother with it\'.
PS: Is that a mantra? No idea, but it is a workable solution when it comes to what passes for conversation with my peers these days.....

This is one I had not thought of before. Silence or the absense of sound has a sound of its own. A type of tinnitus but only noticable when no other noise is present. I love the last two lines and the apparent contradiction in terms inaudible sound. Could there be deeper meaning here?

Excellent, Neville. Really enjoyed this. I recently wrote a short story where the writer\'s muse was a six foot tall talking fox with a New York accent. :-)

When the muse gets loose, we lose the juice. However we lose that inspiration, it hurts for a while and drains our ability to compose. It\'s a literary \"death\" that does not last. I have a theory that this aligns with seasonal changes. Negatively going into winter, positively at summer\'s approach. My attempts to overcome this have been fruitless. It\'s just how it is, and I live with it. Your poem highlights its global existence. - Phil A.

Me, I pictures it more like a drought, but definitely do gets the tenor of your argument.....

Well, now this pretty little number begs greedily to be further enlightened, which this genre never does, handily saying much without precisely telling. Lovely and beautifully rendered with a wonderfully haunting poignancy and such striking imagery I\'m nearly shivering. Awesome. Thank you for sharing. I\'ve a notion: pour boiling hot maple syrup on it and enjoy the candy it crafts in a jiffy.
