My soul is the waiter serving me at the Sky bar.
Factored into this exchange is duality.
Longing and loss crawl against my skin like jealous thieves picking my combination lock.
My shadow challenges my soul to a drinking contest.
Now the bar is minus a waiter.

Is the pieces of art you have photographed yours also those on your latest post? They are really beautiful and the poetry you chose goes well with them.

Hanne, yes, all the artwork is my own — unless otherwise stated. Experimenting with visuals and text in this way is a new form of expression for me. I am grateful for your appreciation.

Keep on experimenting. There something raw yet poetic about these pieces of art. A combination I absolutely love. Looking forward to follow the unfolding.

Hanne, thank you so much. ‘Raw yet poetic’ is a great compliment for me! Your description is the aesthetic I am aiming for. Blessings to you. Michele

My shadow challenges my soul to a drinking contest… What a super line, great poetry. Who won? :)
May 21, 2013 @ 20:50:23
Thanks Kieran! In all honesty, there were no winners :-)
May 21, 2013 @ 21:00:45
I shan’t ask what they were drinking then! :)
May 21, 2013 @ 21:07:33
No, best not to… whatever it was, the poison was invisible! :-)
