~ a ' good-bye ' tart... . .

a  ' t a r t '  as

.... . .  good-bye ?

*

this passionate

" e d i b l e " 

offered as my token of farewell... .   .

to a person ?

to a chapter ?

. ... a dream ?

a tart made of

everything i hold dear.

everything that's  " me "  to offer ~

~ these sweet, fresh blueberries

warmed gently in my own rose glaze...

perched on top of a lovely lemon custard...

cradled by a strong enough 

yet gentle & crumbling sweet crust

made with a fresh herb and a pinch 

of white pepper for spice,

then adding nuts for

 ground and strength and texture...

presented humbly in a brown parchment paper cup,

surrounded with another cup of color.

 color, that i can't seem to do without...

finished with, and nestled in, and crowned in

 more petals.

*

so, there it is.

me, given, as one single bite.

. ...cause i just don't know how to do it any other way ~

as the songs say.... .

*   baby i give you my world... .

you can go your own way... .

you can call it another day... .

*   is this real?

is this just fantasy?

nothing really matters...

. ......any way the wind blows ~

the beautiful flip side of this record is :

hello.... .   . ? !

hello to a new chapter?

hello to a new mountain top view?

to my own new  'hell drive' ?

( ~ " moth to a flame " comes to mind here... . ? )

~ so always i ask:

what  "g i f t " did i get to unwrap here ?

and then.... .

what do i now offer in return ?

~ h e l l o !

bring it.... .    .

( . ..ok, so where's that xxxxxxx screenplay template ? )
