icehouse


The Ice Cutters,1911,Natalia Goncharova

dial me up 

darling

warm me
with stories 
spoken 
red hot

in your mother tongue

every word

a pearl

a flight path
 
strung out
 
and held over

flickers of desire

i close my eyes

slowly melting 
sinking
into your words

i let go

then glide

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
