For all to see, con
-fess right here in white
and blue and green. Let’s
wear our every thought
on sleeve, leave nothing
to the image(i)nation. Let’s
storm the nation in ink and
stain, scrawl our most super
secret names and forgive
us our tress
-passes, and those who have
(s)tressed past against us.
Let’s etch our other, bold
-er selves, color over scars
and fear. Let’s
smear mud and rain and
every more sane thing
along our tired veins. Let’s
scribble our most sacred be,
scribe our war(s)
on bended knees.

Never thought of imagination and image nation in the same cupped hands before. tres cool
Neither had I, until I decided I wanted all the parens to say “kiss,” and had to go hunting for an extra i. 😉
Ha! I love that you did that. 🙂
she wears her heart
on her sleeve
indelible, untellable
a permanent press
but don’t stress
she’ll just say
that’s tat.
Ha! Love this, Bill.
your style is infectious 🙂
Goldie struck me too. I remember being just a tad too young for the jokes on Laugh-in.
Odd how real ‘tats’ have come and gone in style. Now if you are in the ‘service’ you can no longer have ’em visible while in uniform. And yet I’ve seen more tats covering skin than ever.
But not I… I’ll not cross that ‘T’ nor dot that i. But then I don’t have any additional holes in my ears – just my preference. When did having 42 piercings in one ear become so popular?
Wow! You can take a silly photo and De(scribe) it into magic & multiple meanings! Way to go, De!
I love this section:
“and those who have
(s)tressed past against us
Let’s etch our other, bold
-er selves, color over scars
and fear. Let’s
smear mud and rain and
every more sane”
Loved it! What a great take!
Well, I’d say that it sounds like what people do on Facebook all day long. “those who have/ stressed past against us” – I loved that part.
