Quadrille # 22 – scar
The Phrenologist
The charlatan claimed to
Be able to read the bumps
And dents on my scull
He massaged, prodded
Poked, stroked
Then told me I was kind,
stubborn
A little sensitive
What would he tell me
If he could read the scars
On my heart

Carpe Diem #1086 Waltz of the Flowers by Tchaikovsky

summer breeze
flowers sway in rhythm
silent waltz
Carpe Diem #1085 The Kiss (Philip Glass)
~
first kiss
lovers part in the moonlight
sparks remain

Free Fall
we’re free falling
flying without wings
hands clasped
tugging
at the cord that binds
us to the past
leaving behind the strife
the worries
the discord
and drifting into the
open arms of peace

Mish and I are taking a short break. We’ll be back with more photos and poetry in January. Our goal is to reach 52 posts – a whole year of collaboration!
