tomb

photo by Tess Kincaid for Magpie Tales

yes 
it is eye
still blue
though untrue
and very much
in the dark
that yonder window's
just a stone
a bedeviled egg
rolled away
from a soul cave
tell me
are you crying?
because it sounds
like you are
don't cry
i still dream in color

    Dreaming in vivid color is the best kind of dreaming!

    Unless it's about a bedeviled egg of course!

    Which begs the question, do dogs really dream in black and white? If you're not a dog, how can you make this statement?

waiting for the boss

this is the story of a girl who lived in the basement of the girl next door sheltered in the confines of a  suburban tract house dungeon; her punishment for runnin' wild with dreams half unlatched she ran like a spirit in the night from those badlands wind blowin' through her hair shielding her eyes from the blinding light she hugged onto a shoreline of hope someday soon, she's not sure when her savior will rise up from the streets with an armload of rain soaked roses and second chances Rene ~ 2010 Click  Here   to join Magpie Tales creative writing group .
