Crimson and burnt umber had only begun to massage green life from branches. The morning, crisp, was warmer than this. Yesterday was Monday, dark, wet with passive rain. But today's skies are clear Carolina blue. On that other Tuesday, black tainted, flooded, choked the pristine sky with fear. Still, blue remained still here. I wonder if today will welcome doom so gracefully.

The crumby mess is made worse by the party, the celebration, those not watching where they're going -- their footsteps grind potato into dirt into carpet. Where is the maid? We have none for we are poor. Who will tidy the mess? No one: those who see it watch from behind closed windows, shake their heads slowly, bowed. Crumbs conceded to the dogs, the only hope for damage control. Let them eat cake instead.     Julie Rows of Words & Punctuation Wed, 12 Nov 2008 02:22:18 GMT /section-317-rows-of-words-punctuation#comments 2 https://dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/comments/post.php/article/10053 https://dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/comments/feed.php/article/10053 https://dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/links/trackback.php?anchor=article%3A10053 https://dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/article-5363-not-your-eve https://dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/article-5363-not-your-eve ...................................No, .....................................no, .............your bones cannot be blamed for ........what I am: my core, my flesh, my skin, ...are all my own, free of your dust-made ribs. ...I was here before your words, before serpent ....or his hiss, days before you or your helpmate ........in her ingnorance-turned-fig-leaf-modesty, ..............hungered for more.
