Blown-out Girl - over-exposed portrait

Precipice

She stands,
Slightly slouched,
Hair shining from brushstrokes,
Slight sparkles where the sun
Baked in flyaway ends, stirred by the breeze.

She smiles,
Wryly, one-sided.
A thought crosses her mind
And the lips press together
Making her dimples appear just for a moment.

She turns,
On one heel,
And strides away from him,
Not knowing the effect she has had
On his quick-beating heart, now subsiding.

Huge fake flowers in a fake bin at Hobby Lobby

Giants in Technicolor

I wish I could have dreams like that.
Not this boring real-life crap.

I want to dream of giant flowers,
Of googly-eyed monsters, of adventures like that.
Of impossibles possible, the unimagined.
Of insides outside, of outsides in.

If only I could choose my dreams like that.
