y'hear that?

Photo by Tess Kincaid for Magpie Tales click for more info


what you are about 
to hear
is the bubble wrap 
snap of 
sapphire encrusted 
shamrocks
surrounding ruby 
slipper shod
sacred hearts as they 
twirl like 
dizzy dervishes
until spinning 
themselves
into fine silken strands
that taste a lot like
grape kool-aid
and sizzle 
on the tongue
like pop rocks

tune it on in
what you are about
to receive is a 
full piece
of peter max whirled 
harmony
treat your head
close your eyes 
let your ears glide
over the scope of
the collision

    Sapphire-encrusted shamrocks?
    Kool-aid?
    Pop rocks?

    My dear, what are you channeling? Joy! :)

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
