Silky rain like ghosts
in a microwave with popping corn
in the house with open windows
two doors up, my puppies
seeking an imaginary intruder
actually holding the door,
and I mash my face
in the posh pancakes
before even giving butter
or syrup a purpose.

Oh how your mind hum’s. Am surprised you didn’t work in Ketchup on Truffle.
By the way. You still have me mulling over a ‘warm brain’ from the post ‘NaNo Etude 3 – Bright North and Big Decisions’.

Thank you for your kind comment. I feel rich. And I too have been wondering how I can get my brain to warm up better!

Is depression matching the environment a cause or an effect?
#8 by Carl on October 13, 2011 - 9:26 pm
It’s both of those plus it’s its own animal!
