When we were keepers of the universe
we would tickle its edges by the tips
of the fingers of our outstretched hands
and we would hold those hands out
as we spun with its edges tipping our
heads daring to be knocked back
until we were flat on our backs
laughing the sky beaming back
seemed to know us
and later we. were
not. so sure.
Your new avatar has a dark vibe. Like it.
Lol, thank you, Jeff! This is the “noir filter” apparently. I have been meaning to update my author pic for some time now. I should have saved the out-takes, though. In my attempt not to smile too cheezily, I mainly gave off a “why are you looking at me?” vibe.
