In the little green block house
many whispers lingered
behind the stare
of the cloud touched girl

Standing on the edge of the gulf
white against white sands
she thought it to be
magic snow

With just a pinch of salt
in her sugar
change became familiar
in the root swing
of her red tressed lore

She buried treasure
Pieces of herself
as the sun fell
on freckled shoulders

She thought they might
somehow
grow on people

She lulled hatchlings
and lizards
with a voice
that carried
like an Irish milk bucket
strong flung from her soul

Only to turn Zeppelin overnight
by accident
from walking fences
into blooming
on one side
and dying on the other

Keds became Candies
upon neon dance floors
and her bikini
kept getting
smaller and smaller

Till one night
the tide
washed upon her toes
while she pondered
the sky breaking down
and crying
in watered color

She decided different
was grand
just like the sky was
every night she lived
to see it
as she packed up her heart
and moved back home

Ah Regina, this has all of the sounds of becoming another "series" from you...and of course I'm very greedy, and would like to see same...

Okay my friend, between slinging the hammer around, you could do this as a little series for sure, and this was only to whet my whistle right? I may call you later on
