the unfirm line – Frank Hinton

“You are perfect and clean and floating. Everything was clean about us. Everything was perfect until you burned away.”
Frank Hinton, “All Of The People In These Pictures Are Dead Now.”

I read once that burning was the best form of purification. The best transition to the perfect, the cleanliness and possibly the emptiness. Sometimes I am scared to read such things.

There have been five major extinction events on earth. Each leading to perfect and clean and floating. There will be more, and I am scared of those too.
