applauded with flippers on.

Such insight. Such depth.

The Color Purplish
The man on the porch looks out
over his property and towards his daughter.
Nervousness seeps through her plum-dark flesh.
Each eye contact signposts a wicked meditation.

Premium Member Melancholic Melodies
Surrounded by strange blank faces, 
pianist plays a medley of melancholic melodies,
magnifying our sorrows, as we close our eyes.

Black stilettos, black cut dress, aimed real low
Seductive but simple, I know...
