Dillon She was fond of fabric that flowed and she liked the wind and what it did to dresses and her long hair, but the boots were a matter of the cowboy in her. She lived under the Arizona sun in a place carved into a hill. A path mapped her way to a land that changed with shadow and color, but the sky was what she loved most. That, and her boots. She was a chef at a chic place along the Coyote trail in a city southwest of nowhere, yet not far enough away from grease she could still smell under the fingernails of her past. That driveway was still scared with the rubber she burned leaving. The sky was a free and open space and she had driven until she found it at its biggest. She loved her boots because her grandmother said she could pick herself up by the straps of them. She had done that going to culinary school and earning the white hat of an artist; placed, poured or dripped…. eatable art. She came close to falling for a fella with a wide brimmed hat and twinkle, who liked the way she walked and spoke her mind, but the sky was what she loved the most. That, and her boots. |

  (smiles) Awwwwwwww, I just love this, sweet friend, this had me picturing the free cowboy spirits of the west and wishing I could hop into some boots and shine my spurs about with my hat proud upon my head and drift away like a romantic vagabond! (kiss on cheek) This is wonderful, sweet friend, I know Ron is going to love this too, yay, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Martie, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |

yes..I can see this as a sister to Iambe... more refined and having a distance from her that adds an element. As usual martie..you amaze me with your talent... like the images painted...and the person you sketch out... now..can you write about her again? ( chuckling) |

I've got to go find the challenge, then I've got to make sure YOU go on vacation, because I don't think I could beat this! Brava!  |

OH.... methinks I like Dillon VERY much... I so understand about skirts and boots and leaving nothing but tire tracks on a driveway....okay, I don't drive, but I DO understand that. You must tell us more about her Martie! Wunnerful. |

Dillon walked with a sway perhaps it was the boots, but I always liked watching her move We had been out driving her car top down when she pulled over in the shadow of a butte climbed out and began walking I don't know where she was heading but she seemed to have purpose I lacked so I watched her walk head up hips in rythm About an hour or so later I saw her coming back and reached into the cooler fished out a cold one and walked out to meet her She didn't say anything much just something about the clouds not wanting to play today Later when the sun had found its way behind the maze of red rimmed buttes and the stars began to sprinkle themselves like salt on a black tablecloth She leaned on me and I wished I could be the clouds in her heart |

Awesome work, Martie. I really can see this person. And making her a chef makes her all that more sensuous! Or, as they say in Big Night: (woman crying) Man: What's the matter? Woman: My mother was a TERRIBLE cook! Hey, what do you expect after eating Timpano? Um... I seem to have sidetracked myself. Enjoyed!  |
