tomb

photo by Tess Kincaid for Magpie Tales

yes 
it is eye
still blue
though untrue
and very much
in the dark
that yonder window's
just a stone
a bedeviled egg
rolled away
from a soul cave
tell me
are you crying?
because it sounds
like you are
don't cry
i still dream in color

    Dreaming in vivid color is the best kind of dreaming!

    Unless it's about a bedeviled egg of course!

    Which begs the question, do dogs really dream in black and white? If you're not a dog, how can you make this statement?

    Ever-so-slightly macabre. :-)
