War Paint ( Nov. 20th, 2006)

i'm going through and reposting some oldies that got deleted when writerscafe had that little mishap.

DIVE
DIVE
DIVE!

 

deeper with me
into our selves

 

we put on
the war paint
a blue hand
on my cheek
a dragonfly
on my chest

 

and you
with the purple
streaks spattered upward
and that red
central spiral

it dried
and as we bent
and stretched
it started cracking

i want to taste things
no hunger pains...simply for the sensation of flavor

awake!!!

flakes speckled on the pillows
and the sheets
tac up some old memories
on your new bare walls
but be sure
to leave some room
for what's to come
