tonight is not the night you will come back to me. i have not been playing mandolin all of my life for this moment when i am twenty- three wearing blue nail polish waiting for carrot cake to cool. it is autumn, the favorite time of year that is not spring or summer when the ground at which we will scratch comes up dusty crescent bowls of fingernail.
What can I say but, oh!
Who did save you? Not my impression that you need saving. Wonderful poem.
That’s Eulonia for you–pure brilliance…
You didn’t write that? Have to admit head in clouds this morning.
Oh, I only wish I wrote like her–she is a poetry goddess.
I’ll check her out. You’re my poetry goddess by the way.
Oh–thank you! You might switch faiths after you read her, and I wouldn’t blame you one bit…you are my god of flash fiction–the newest statue in the temple
Oh thanks – but I have to say, the pickings are pretty slim, not that many prose writers hereabouts. I am happy to be a statue though! Please keep me away from the pigeons.
You are inside, away from the bird poo.
She is brilliant. You two on the other hand? Are nuts!
Hahaha!
