passage

La Jument photograph by Jean Guichard 

you
are not

poetry

you

are
its side effect

you

are not

music

you 

are

my stillness

you
 
are not

my savior

you

are
my melancholy

you

are not

timeless

you

are

now

    Beautiful, Rene! Everything beautiful, I think, is in the 'now.' We have to appreciate life as it is this very moment....now!

    What a tight crisp poem with the choicest of words! The last line should be your anchor out of melancholy. He's now, he's not forever.

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
