Analysis of Straddling The Flame
Through the fire,
and across the lake
We made it to land,
with our innocence raped
Its memory now enough,
to scare and profane
What the future never promised,
--- when we straddled the flame
(Villanova Pennsylvania: March, 2015)
Listening To Clapton’s ‘Sunshine Of Your Love’
