Today's mosaics 'The Shape of Leaves'


When
There is grand sun. Dare you to look her in the eye, and cold ever changing moon, pretentious as love outside of a movie theatre screen.

There is no aroma to the rain, petrichor is a lie that belongs to the earth. Wildflowers, seemingly pretty, are really weeds, reality check! You rip them out, they appear like magic rabbits in a hat.

When i'm feeling low, when the coffee is just a bitter dark draught in a mug with a silly drawing of a flower and a bird, and the apple peeled is cut across to reveal a star without a stupid night sky.

words of scripture
hold over my head a halo -
a protective tent

    Nice green mosaics - it seems to be always summer in Trinidad or Tobago.

    Very descriptive and I love that it doesn't romanticise nature. Nice use of language.

    "when the coffee is just a bitter dark draught in a mug with a silly drawing of a flower and a bird"

    Goodness! I didn't know that was possible! I thought that coffee was always nothing more nor less than the nectar of the gods!

    Thinking of you, Gillena!
