Notes About The Poem

For Caren Krutsinger who drives my imagination to crazy places :) 

Imagined Deaths

ecstasy of piranhas, perhaps
to dream the dream of falling
S P L A T
flying...i’m flying
thereafter eaten by raptors
well there’s that
the big bang
i’m the new world
inhabited by Fraggles
shake that off
the dust bowl
i think therefore i am sucked
up by a hoover
the anchor agitates the floor of the beautiful blue sea
surreality is attached to me
black eyes
of a pea lodge
in my eternity
dressed in a green and purple Barnie suit
my kids won’t even bury me
afraid of i love you you love me

I am so excited and thrilled to read that you have dedicated this MARVELOUS wonderful whimsically beautiful missive to me! Wow! I am deeply honored my friend; and so glad I can be of even the most remote help in your imagination which I kind of doubt. Ha! You were already there long before you ever met the likes of me or Trixie. Trixie is nodding her head emphatically!

LOL! You are the leader of the pack, well Trixie, and I follow! You help me to catch the wind of wild abandon and follow through.

Enjoyed all the connections... good to just let it fly once in a while. It feels good to be Caren once in a while as well. :) gw

LOL...my kids hated Barnie. Played it a lot when I had a daycare in my home.
