Time Stands Still

Willie Carter 1968 (South Carolina)

Soliloquy
TIME STANDS STILL

Breathless… Time stands still…

Chests and souls heaving, laboring to bring forth new life... Tortured agony… Time stands still…

The eye of the storm… Everything’s in peace… united as one in harmony… Time stands still…

An explosion… Sucking into its irresistible force
 all the blanketing universe, before, it irresistibly projects and scatters eight ways from ground zero, the beginnings of new life… Time stands still…

This is a testimony of the heated passion
shared between this man and his life with his wife…
And still… time stands still…
