Air directs my every move like trick or treat at Halloween for the love of sugar candy or a penny, pound, to buy a fizzy soda pop. It has ears around the corner eavesdropping on my heart, eyes to see me cry, and lips to smile with me remembering my dreams but not an ounce of power to satisfy my needs. All around my everything a conspiracy for sure to make me think that air is a friend and not despair dancing in and out of my complacency. A lifetime to prepare and perfect the sound check for air to simply say, “I can hear you” but only once a woman’s voice and I loved her then and there. She’s gone to cleaner air to escape the crime wave of bandits and robbers holding souls to ransom and testing reactions of the human system. The breath of life – ha-ha, ha-ha, more likely puppet masters contorting my beliefs for the love of sugar candy, soda pops, and more at the after party of my soon downfall. Just a maybe/perhaps air doesn’t know women live to rule the day but in the night, oh, fearful night, what a fight it is to stay … heavier than air! |

 yeah, but we're women...and by God, we're the first wives club...anyone like to join hands and sing? This was I believe one of your best...though it's hard to say, b/c if I went and read another one of yours, would feel the same way about that one....your a tremendous visual writer.... Thank you |

Dixie - thanks for the read! LeeJ - Thank you for your kind comment. It makes me pleased to know that you enjoy my little stories. Maybe I'll write "poetry" in my next life but ...  ... I think what I write comes from a past one so I'm not too hopeful. Thanks again! |
