RDP Wednesday – DRIZZLE
Pick a word
any word
and with a click of the keys
a turn of the phrase
I shall create
right here before your eyes
a story with teeth, a poem with claws
a nightmare of letters held together by
old bones and a little skin
that will amaze, delight and confound you all!
So pick a word, any word will do!
RDP Tuesday– LOST
She lies in her tomb
surrounded by ice
nothing to tell you she is there
somewhere below your feet
sleeping
in a lost cemetery
teeming with wondering souls and unquiet graves.
Shortly after I read Pet Sematary I had a nightmare.
It was one of those dreams where you wake up and go through your regular routine and then:
My dog who had died a few years before was in my kitchen.
But I knew it wasn’t really my dog because Sham had orange wolf like eyes.
This dog had cat’s eyes and “Church” was written across his chest white chest in dark red ink.
And then he opened his mouth and I could feel his cold breath creep towards my face and he said:
I woke up screaming, of course.
This has been my favorite quote by King since that night.
RDP Monday: BALM
Make me beautiful
make me feel alive again
put the roses back in my cheeks
make my hair shine
Polish my nails
put a smile on my lips
make me feel like…
make me look like…
myself again
said the corpse to the Funeral Director
for just one day.
