eye
pressed against
the glass of
fallen memory 
still i cry
had i known then?
yes
still i'd ride

    It is better to live without regret. I would change nothing, for fear it would change today.

    As the others say - i applaud the conviction of choice...some may say whatever we choose the outcome is the same..so best it is ours..and wholly believed...

    it's therapeutic to cry. you'll be surprised, next time you are enjoying the ride once again. the ride of life of course

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
