"room with a view" - Rene 2009


sitting,
eyes closed
bathed in luxurious
silence
the refrigerator
hums a lullaby as
the kitchen clock
keeps time 
the floorboards
and i settle in for
the night
these are
the heart sounds
of my sanctuary

i lean back
breathe in 
exhale
unwind

    I think we all just closed our eyes and enjoyed your quiet.

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
