what can i say

the trance floats my feet across London Bridge where i meet the Sex Pistols for tea then i met the Dalai Lama for goat yoga and he read the Scottish Play to me i raised my head down from the clouds to capture the perfect hue of turquoise when Loololama cusped my hand to teach me Hopi geometry upon seeing the bracelets of my thoughts in such opulent colors Billie and Frida brought May West and we had a slumber party in the morning Rosa and Harriet took me to church in Aretha’s Pink Cadillac after June and Johnny sang Amazing Grace Bowie said to Lou Reed if she falls from the sky she’ll break her nose all the while Mother Teresa looked to Peter as she wildly agreed and while he did not stomp his feet Archangel Michael was ordered to fly me down and he dropped me off between Normandie and Western

#writephoto

Use the image below as inspiration to create a post on your own blog… poetry, prose, humour… light or dark, whatever you choose, by noon (GMT) Wednesday 8th May and link back to this post with a pingback to be included in the round-up.

All posts will be featured in the round-up on Thursday May 9th at 10am GMT, linking back to the original posts of contributors. Throughout the week I will feature as many of the responses here on the Daily Echo as space allows and (more or less) in the order in which they come in.

through my missing front teeth

the blinking sun saw

lines weighed with school uniforms

clothes of mechanics

kids pink and purple sneakers

mail boxes stuffed with worry

azures

heaviness in me

holds me down against the earth

my eyes while open

are deprived of your beauty

sinews in my brain toughened

hell hounds sucked bones clean

drowning of thirst for freedom

formidably sad

azures of my soul died away

my tear lands in the shot glass
