jan 19: lamé day
<< artificial limb day pledge drive appreciation day >>


jenni and it seems the tires are melting into the blacktop
ten more degrees will have them pooling like oil at my feet
and it seems the sun has grown much larger much closer
convex prisming brand new colors for me utterly and perfectly alone
and it seems everything is pure blissful motion and energy
the heat rising off the desert in undulating waves of gold lamé
so i lay down and wait ecstatic and complete
because death is nothing
and this is not.

jay lame is easier
to fit into haiku form
than lamé is... see?

heather So pretty, so cool on the skin. Slipped over the head it just falls right into place. Gold lamé and black lace. So pretty. In front of the mirror, a twist, a swirl, a pretty little twirl. A little blush, blot the lipstick. Gotta hurry, time is running short. Just cut so right, hangs off everything the way it should. Practiced glances and coy looks were just too perfect. Time's almost up, better get going. Maybe a few more twirls in front of the mirror. Can't hurt.

A click, the door opens, "David...? Is that my mother's dress?"
