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?

    The photograph totally creeps me out. In a cool kind of way.

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
