chicken feet

i got your back
sugar
i'm
se-ri-ous
as a heart attack

i'm clear and i'm
present
on target to
capture
and own it

whenever you've
got to
unclench, i'll be
your monkey,
your wench

gonna shake your
la-gun-a
whis-per
all them
magic words to ya

i got your back
lover
just you stop,
now
and let it all go

come slide on home
honey
fill me up
now
just let it all flow

Rene ~ 2013

    brought a smile to my face! Really enjoyed your take on the prompt...and sitting beneath the light-heartedness, is just that hint of affection. Very well balanced.Thank you for sharing!- stu mcp

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
