He flicked a cigarette ash into a Starbucks cup and looked up into the approximate area he believed I would understand to be my eyes. I didn't get to say everything, he rasped.

It's just a rinse, It's gonna fade out.  She either laughed, or cleared her throat  twisting her hair  up  and into a messy pigtail It'll look better tomorrow Above her eyes  a drawbridge opens She looked down at her toes astronauts every little crack every little step one leap closer Rene~2013

There is a groove  (a ditch more precisely) in my well-loved sofa cushion I slide my foot into it and it fits perfectly every time  I smile, spine unfurling, at my shabby, secret joy, singing "Now don't that beat the hell  out of Cinderella's slipper!"

Waking, Walking, Singing, in the Next Dimension? 1979 by Morris Graves via Magpie Tales dawn is a feeling warmth that spreads from shoulder to cheek freedom means boundaries landmarks of habit indicators of progress  voices are familiar songs  each new generation produces its convincing covers life is smelly but you'll always know you are home Rene ~ June 2, 2013 For Randy Pierce and The Mighty Quinn
