reality
by Mary Frances Spencerstranger than fiction
stronger than metal
runs illusionary waters
cries blood down
into lava earth
life
brief inhalations
eye to eye combat
grips momentary encounters
laughs last
all the way
to the bank
love
mysterious simple
falls stumbles around
dances glitter petals
forgets and remembers
loses the keys
everyday

| Posted by George Hoerner on 03/22/12 at 01:46 PM Oh god, reality?? I fear that is what I have after 70+ years of looking for it. A cute but also seriious write m'lady. I enjoyed it greatly. And I think someone sells a beeping keychain. I'm looking for one I can attach to my mind. Take care. |
