Photograph

[Jerrybaldy]

I was playing with your photograph
Hiding your eyes
So you could not see.
I was drawing on spectacles
And a moustache
And an eye patch,
I was thinking of you
Whilst watching early morning tv,
Feeling soulless
Looking at curtains
Weighing my head
With my hands.
Cutting my skin
With easy pride
Then putting my finger in.
I was playing with your photograph.
Turning you upside down
And sideways
Sure
I'll love you always.

Why, thankyou JB!

Didn't specifically have you in mind MM, but you're very welcome. ��

Good work, JB. An evocative and emotional piece, but I would perhaps suggest cutting "Like my neck can't manage." Personally, I feel this line to be superfluous, and the tone feels out of kilter with the rest of the piece.

I love this JB.

Thanks Tony. Thanks for the advice Hawk, I have taken it.

I love how you can relate the emotion in an experience so precisely. Though Im a little prudish towards some of your work, I really appreciate these gems
