Magpie Tales...No.302



look down
between her being and her soul.
fathom depths
deep
and reflective.
her heart has been
outgrown, split. splintered.
trace the hollow of a thought,
faded stripes
ripple the air
time cracks. dried. shadowed.
Lime plaster, a pale chalk pink
dusts her feet. Still.

I wrote this  poem  in a homage to the way Bowie wrote at times...I cut it up and rearranged the lines ( he sometimes wrote his lyrics like this)...don't ask me what it means usually I have no clue!
The others are here.

  5. I do not know who Bowie is frankly until I goggled him. But, I certainly liked this poetic reference

  6. I felt from the opening line, the more I read the deeper I got in her thoughts and core. That is an effective way to engage reader into the woman's reasoning.
