Man's Old Quest

(double Tanka: 5 / 7 / 5 / 7 / 7 )



There are NO new words,

no new hues nor tones:



ALL is old, some is Ancient;

All reverberates!  ALL rings!,



worse than Memory- - -

reliving tortures!



Quell the fear, dull the old knife!

Set me free!  Let me breathe FREE!

Author's Notes/Comments: 

There is NO escape.
