crazy love consumes
undone by your sublime text
heart eclipses mind
the moment permeates all
and the center cannot hold
Thanks to Reena and RDP for their inspiration. The words nutty, sublime text, and eclipse led to me this ode to crazy modern love, with a shout out to William Butler Yeats (and Joan Didion).
What’s that splotch on your forehead?
I won. That’s what matters.
You won? What?
Cash money!
NO! How? What did you do?
So Jimmy and me was in the park by the river.
Were.
Were what?
You and Jimmy WERE in the park.
I know. I just said.
Forget it. Go on.
Well… there’s this tree.
Yes?
And it’s got these knobs and a big bendy branch.
And?
Jimmy dared me to climb to the top and shimmy down the bendy part. Bet me ten bucks.
You didn’t.
Did. Head first. WINNER!
Except for your head.
Totally worth it!

love torn asunder
serrated edges draw blood
but the heart beats on
striking like a billy club
redemption in copper red
Thanks to RDP and Esther for great prompts- SERRATED AND CLUB.
