Above The Dizzy Tizzy
July 28th, 2010
Could have done a long over due ‘Writerly Week’ tonight but since I’ve only just begun to have time again I think I’ll wait till next time and make a proper list of what I’ve been up to. :) In the mean time, here’s some miscellaneous thing that jumped out of my skull. Haven’t posted something like this in awhile so pardon the quality and give it a read.
My inspiration was something I said, something along the lines of:
When I can get out from beneath this self-clutter…
I am here.
Beneath the scars of a cluttered past and the rotten covered strawberries of her romance. Beneath our silver pedigree and crimson charm. Beneath cardboard courthouses, paper sins, and quarters in a jar.
Between window bars and shattered glass. Between one soft voice and wish upon a comet. Between the polka dots and an empty casket- both speaking for the presence they would always never hold. Between abrasion and comfort, and blood upon the wall.
Beneath dancing shadows and moon layered masks. Beneath the billiard tables and brittle bones, the blue green glow of double stained glass, greasy food, and filthy hands.
Between one-hundred blankets and the rock hard floor. Between book dust and burning candles, the impression and the act. Between the pavement and the night caressing silent steps.
Between vodka and coffee. Beneath hay and horse shit. Between skin and the blade. Beneath the scabs- I am here!
Beneath the words, beyond the wisdom. Within the meaning and above the drama.
I am here.
Waiting for you.
interesting piece the first part made me think of a run down neighborhood then you dropped me in the middle of a barnyard. It flowed nicely too.
Thankies. Actually, it’s bits of my life- which in fact ‘did’ start in a very run down neighborhood and at the very end of the piece is where I ended up at the foster farm so I’m glad things came out right. Needs some work still I think but I really loved the spontaneous rhythm that came out. Thankies bunches for reading it.
Nice write.
Loved it. keeping writing.
Hello and welcome to my little corner of the net. Thank you for reading and leaving a comment. I really appreciate the feedback.
Well: there is nothing challenged about your senses. You don’t miss much :)
You write well enough that you may have some sort of speech impediment.
But I hope you don’t, or if you did, that it taught you how to do this so well.
Beauty and ugliness.
Sweet and sour.
Disease and health.
All of it.
Real :)
