Mistakes, They’re a Plenty July 22, 2011

Flip. Rumble. Panic.
Bright pink, star bursts, open air.

 

Inch. Passion. Beg.
Cool mist, salty shouts, fly away.

 

Comment. Stare. Passive.
Protect life, eat alone, slam hard.

 

Risk. Enchant. Confuse.
Scrawly brown, rippled looks, dancing clouds.

 

Bead. Jump. Grieve.
Die tomorrow, opaque brilliance, ordinary love.

 

Never swallow rum prepared by dirty hands loosely stored in work gloves, especially on a Thursday.
