Fairy Stories

iris purple
photo by Sylvia

the raindrops cling to your velvet petals
and i am reminded of ballroom gowns
with satin sashes and ruffled skirts–
those dresses of dreams
and fantasy and childhood fairy stories
that still haunt the halls of memory
with forgotten echoes of romance
and misty mirages of everlasting love

Snippets of conversations heard recently

“it’s going to be cold tonight, down to 36”

“hey, what are you up to? i just got home”

“if i were skinnier, i could pull that off”

“i’m a very proud cat daddy”

“hi, i’d like to have both my nipples pierced”

“she must like yellow, she has yellow flowers everywhere”

“pain just reminds us that we’re alive”

That lonesome whistle

Well if they freed me from this prison,
If that railroad train was mine
I bet I’d move it on a little farther down the line
Far from Folsom prison, that’s where I want to stay
And I’d let that lonesome whistle blow my blues away…..

Folsom Prison Blues written by Johnny Cash, 1955
