sky blue
saturday song
got me
humming
that tune
for the whole day
long
trying to find the
words
to describe
this delicious~ness
only trouble
is that
they ain't been
invented yet
can i draw
a picture
for you?
oh no
that shade of blue
would never, ever do
maybe if i make you
a dish of
something nice?
hmm but
i just can't find
that
missing
 je ne sais spice..
i could make you
a sweater
and wrap you
in it's charms
but here's
 the problem
it would have
orangutan arms
so i think
 i'll stick
with the thing
i know the best
and that's keeping it
simple
and i'll let nature
do the rest
sky blue
saturday song
got me humming that tune
the whole day long...

Peace ~ Rene

i don't like eggs but you knew this already i know you're thinking such a terrible waste but it's not, you see i'm feeding them to the dog she loves them just as much as i know she loved you and the way you walked her as if every single thing she sniffed mattered to you as well sorry, dear pardon my red wine opera crowd violin string tugging (your words) i ramble at breakfast like a fussy percolator but you knew this already morning is when i am most honest and vulnerable i know that's why you left after dinner oh god dammit you i miss you so much what i did before us is a mystery and what i do now is insanity i'm frying up eggs just to smell them again and to perhaps coax you down, from wherever you are for breakfast did you know i believe that there is still a ghost of a chance Rene Foran ~  April 2011 photo by Tess Kincaid for Magpie Tales click for more info
