Astounding – I’m in my fourth decade of life and this is the first day the beauty of this word has hit home…
supple-ment
which put me in mind of Rodin…
and of the cacophony of arguments followed by caressing clarifications toward shared understandings
of characters presented and nuanced, developed, made complex
of statements expanded and explained, extended into metaphors
vowels echoing sustained
hard Cs molding into soft
crashes dwindling into static
facts becoming rumors becoming murmurs, whispers, sighs
wailing come to weeping come to tears come to rest
Something that completes or enhances something else when added to it. |
