The Artwork of Artwork
Laying on the cobweb bed,
Eyes glued to the TV station,
Thoughts filled up your empty head,
Swelling you with animation.
Voices call but you don’t answer,
Just listen to the record player,
You pirhouette, you tiny dancer,
It was fun but now it’s labor.
You’re so quiet when you’re awake,
But you make noises when you sleep.
Snore again my little angel,
Snore again my little angel.
Coloring books evolve to year books,
Eyes mimic magnolia plumes,
Burn a hole with every look,
Stares mimic magnolia blooms.
Fighting hard for weekend rest,
You need a place to dream.
Rip her worries off her chest,
She needs a place to dream.
Paris is all I remember,
And how I traced the skyline.
Cleansed myself the first of November,
And then I made that song mine.
Angels touched the tips of wings,
Voices sounded familiar,
Color of eyes was baffling,
It was all that I knew of her.
-T. S. Collins

Thank you for the excellent read
Great stuff with excellent read. Keep it like that.
Mikael,
I couldn’t help noticing in your bio that your stuff has appeared in Dogmatika.
Is Dogmatica out of business? I went to check I long piece of mine they’d serialized between 9/16 and 2/07, but the site seemed to have disappeared.
If you know anything I don’t, please send me a note at RRBrklyn@aol.com.
Thanks, Mikael!
