SEVERENCE
Memorabilia fall from a disheveled scrapbook meeting the beer stained carpet.
Photographs jostled among road maps, napkins, letters of undying dedication, and
one four leaf clover. So much living glued impermanently to yellow streaked con-
struction paper pages. So much loving stapled into the cold leaflets of a hard
covered tome. One strike dismisses the past. One flicker lights the future. One
blaze says the goodbye that could not be said. A haunting glow of an orange-red
conflagration ignites the human spark for survival. Destruction breeds existence.
Through death is the renewal of life. ',.
