The song Last Dance With MaryJane by Tom Petty was playing, and I sort of used it as my prompt, this is what I got: (PS, MaryJane is my grandmother's name!!)
blue eyes tattooed on my back
shadow dancing in the west
i give you my all, I give you my best.
the winds can't weave words to explain
the ways I used to look at you,
eating me inside out,
the winged creatures that came from your mouth.
i want to drink tea and coffee with you
in diners in the middle of no where
spread out and seek stars
on a blanket in the desert night,
the warm and docile breeze,
the outlines of saguaros
and bats' silhouettes,
surrounding us,
encompassing a moment we might never forget,
a second of forgiveness and gratitude,
the grounding of fear and elevation of a desire.
A moment where a single glance might collapse an empire
or grow eternity from earthly veins
soaking up the sweat from our heat
crowned on a Navajo blanket
somewhere deep in a desert in the middle of nowhere
dust spelling out our names
"A moment where a single glance might collapse an empire
ReplyDeleteor grow eternity from earthly veins"
Good shit.
