drive


i am the way
this neck
of the woods
this leg
of the journey
hand to god

this highway's 
not a ribbon
it's a zipper
unzzzipped
your land 
rolls into my land

golden sweet
delicious deep
let freedom ring
honest 
and clear as 
the night 

eyes wild with
halogen soaked
promised land 
mountain songs
reach up
palm that star

the second 
from the right
it's no lie
shhhh...
just glide
let me drive

    Great swing to these words when read aloud... my favourite stanza.

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
