I carry spring & children

Image result for mothers vintage
i have a tongue of colours
with rooms of spaces,
mapping you & me.
A Polaroid stitch of sinking,
like bubbles
erupting in my hollows
of womanhood,
i have an eye like the sky-
drugged, fuller lips
with ashtray of hopes,

I spin in my own body,
toes kissing head
heads going missing-
like a reality fading,
Is it a kind of operation taking place?
Anxious hair fanning my tanned skin,
I carry children & autumn
both sleeping in my dreams,
like you-
you faggot skinned- mammal
and you smirk my Lilly shadows
as always.
as always.

  6. I am intrigued by your fascination with vintage photographs – I believe they speak to the kind of writer you are as they always create such beautiful atmosphere (just like you do). So, too, I love the way you spread metaphors throughout poetry, capturing common feelings in the most creative way. I see a lot in your poetry but here, I see a woman longing to bear a child and long nights of filling an ashtray while hoping for one. Just my humble interpretation.

    1. Your interpretation is appropriate. And it actually makes me happy that you noticed my love for everything vintage, especially the pictures. It speaks to me so well.
      I am so grateful to have your vivid opinions, I feel you know me.

      1. I am glad to hear that. Yes, I imagine that you feel sometimes like you were meant to be born in another time. I know what you share through your words and sense you write yourself into every piece. Seems I am in love with your poetry and prose, too.
