Love:
let me be
your candy
sweet fantasy
of reindeer snow
of red-nosed glow
from snowball throw
aimed happy crazy
on mouth soft and saucy
and your eyes that melt me
gleam a Southern summertime
of delicious crime
as time spins on a dime.
A recipe for Peanut Butter Snowballs (pictured above) is here. Of course the earliest reference to peanut butter can be traced back to the Aztecs who would not have been acquainted with snow. Written for dVerse’s Quadrille (44 words, “candy”).
Sta viator. Stop traveler.
Amabilen conjugem calcas.
Tread upon a loving wife.
“I’ve never read it myself.”
“Tell me.”
On an island
a mahogany bed
shaped like a boat
The extraordinary in
the ordinary: love
in language
Flaubert writing Emma,
who’s trapped
in a familiar broken cauldron
The ordinary in
the extraordinary: language
in love
Only lies of happiness
and unhappiness
(I read it after all)
meet expectations
I am the girl –
the book is the wolf –
believe me
