Toast and Cranberries Come and sit with me on this day after, we will eat noisy things like toast and cranberries, and if you sing I’ll sing with you, for I am not filled yet with the noisome chorus of life. I’ll sip it up from this dainty rose hip china, and slurp from the bowl where I have swirled memories with the bright beguile of your smile. Sit cross legged around the oak tree on the grass of empty places that need filling, with knees and elbows we’ll dig for the spirit, and feel it fall from autumn sky, the one that glows from the not yet lit fire yet speaks with sparked tongue, that burns time like newspapers under the first logs of winter. Let’s make this day the best twirl, for the gold of sun leaks laughter, and joy is this minute. Come and sit with me on this day after, we will eat noisy things like toast and cranberries. To decorate this aging |
