One Shell

I have cracked open a lot of eggs in my time  but I have never cracked one open and had two yolks plop out.

I know that there are lots of stories about double yolkers that involve death, fertility and big hens but that aside it is pretty cool to have something out of the ordinary turn up in your kitchen while  you’re waiting for you toast to pop up.

 

The Forgotten Bride

Settled for

second best, third and last

a few words

an epitaph

to a dead woman

who was never alive.

 

A Wight In Flight

Gliding not soaring

How far, how long will you travel?

Open sky, empty grave

Streets named for dogs and flowers and lost lovers

Twilight eternal will you find the land of fallen stars?

Two Hundred and Six Bones

Tongues in torment

brain cells starving in darkness

vacant eyes

and necks bent in permanent  subjugation  to  the  Gods who dwell  in the hills of Bellevue and are housed in finery by Lake Union.

 

The human body

a vessel for technology to travel by

an over designed mode of transportation for a bit of light and sound trapped in plastic.

 

206 bones, six liters of blood, six million years of evolution

all promised to next years model

a phone in a case bedazzled and cared for

slimmer, faster and more desirable

then we will ever be

to each other.
