'til invited in
I wait by the cabin door
And drink in the view
And drink in the view
from the bottom of my brew.
I'll have another.
(*cute new avatar pic, 'ollady!)
Thank you, I like twenty years younger :wink:
I'll have another
And maybe a bagel too
Get something for you?
Get something for you
to wipe off your face? It's a
bit messy from ribs!
Bit messy from ribs
and barbeque sauce, she wiped
her hands on her jeans....
her hands on her jeans
finding keys in the pocket
sat back down to eat.
Sat back down to eat
With a satisfied grunt and
A glass of red wine.
A glass of red wine
Aaaah. Fresh from a cardboard box
It was a good 'month'.
It was a good month,
said Peebles. Just look at all
the dregs we collected.
The dregs we collected
from the ocean's shore; some shells,
sea glass, our treasures.
Sea glass, our treasures
Rubbed smooth by the ocean's waves-
Tumbling it over.
Tumbling it over
I looked at the zircon gem
It was so lovely
It was so lovely
and yet so false. Omen
of things yet to come?
Of things yet to come
We are hopeful all day long
Crossing fingers too.
Crossed fingers too
Long cuts off circulation.
Your fingers drop off.
Your fingers drop off-
Your toes turn purple and black-
Frost bite leaves its mark.
Frost bite leaves its mark
Your nose and ears, fingers, toes
None are free from pain
None are free from pain
But some learn how to numb it
Even free themselves.
Even free themselves
Though they know not how or why
Only that they must
Only that they must
Not walk on the cracks of the
Toronto pavements.
