Kansas Can

hole in the sky
in need of patching
could i leap up
and hold it fast
with a mighty straw grasp

and a prayer
some questions and answers
like Ryan Reynolds abs
are truly not for and
of this earth

yet i jump higher
and still farther
lit by the fire of a love
that confidently
believes i can

Rene ~ July 2011

For Fred and Tessa 
and for Ryan Reynolds too
but mostly for Fred and Tessa

    Thanks everyone!
    This is just something fun I put together for some friends.

    And maybe Ryan Reynolds
    If he could put on a shirt for once...
    I mean...gosh!

    everyone needs a love who believes they can.

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
