Continuing these thoughts /pip/Forum88/HTML/002903.html


When I determine what it is
that needs to be written
it would deserve to be put on appropriate paper

A heavy linen stock
made from threads that I’ve plucked from my past
Or the old denim shirt
a girl once wore to seduce me

And what of the bottle
wouldn’t it too, need to be special?

An “empty” befitting its status as envoy
Made from dark glass to protect ink from the light
Perhaps the dark green of Cliquot’s “Grand Dame”
or the amber that held a Cent Cinquatenaire

Which color of wax and which point of departure
will all need addressing when the time comes

But, the real problem for me
with sending missives in glass ships
isn’t so much, that they would never be found
rather, that they just might be

well, some of us are standing around at water's edge
waiting for that very bottle
bon noir, mon ami

Only a "Special Reserve" Bottle would do ...

The real kick is that now thoughts travel beautifully on their own and touch who is ready to receive them.

hmmmm .... you have me thinking.

Love, Margherita
