lady la la liberty

Supermoon, New York, Julio Cortez via Magpie Tales

I look at that moon

like it's another quarter

slipped in

the smiling notch of

my bank book

i can hardly lift

all that hope

i make gravy wells

in clouds

for all my crazy dreams

but my champagne heart

has beggar's

arrhythmia

and i stubbed my toe

on a horny back toad

how them golden slippers

ever gonna fit me, now

go an' howl down a

mongrel rainstorm up

that yellow brick road

There was a haunting beauty behind her eyes, beyond her sorrow, a beauty that found its way into one’s heart and led them home.

Image via Magpie Tales i won't be leaving here with you nor will you be staying with me for any longer than you see fit that is just the way of it it is the silent refrain of my being i won't be leaving here with you but i will stay, until my time is done as your ceremonial chosen one no, this won't be my last tour though it is the first time i won't be leaving here with you shh, now, darling. this is what i do i see it in your eyes, our time's drawing to a close. please don't mind the tears they come, they go, it's true... i won't be leaving here with you Rene ~ December 8, 2012

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
