@AndiMarchal Get in line, sweetheart. 😍

Can I save the memory?
Wishing time backwards
To days of smokey blues
Lips linger on jazz lyrics
Chanteuse dressed in tacky teal
Whispers of wishes
Aging in my whisky

RIP André Leon Talley 🙏

I adored this amazing person. My copy of The Chiffon Trenches is dog-eared, I've read it so many times.

"It's about the gloves, okay, darling?" Best quote ever.

There are a variety of ways one can be left for dead without worrying about an arrest. Remember that creepy guy who kept staring at his reflection in the pool last weekend? He’s resting under the flowers in my wife’s narcissus bed.

@AndiMarchal This is quite brilliant. I would love to see you continue the story...

She was not just the collector of books. She stole into the pages, a dark & haunted vandalism from a bygone day. Some could see her, but only as a distant silhouette, as if they were dreaming in the shadow of a scratch in time

‘I’m a going to seek her, fur & wide. If any hurt should come to me, remember that the last words I left for her was, “My unchanged love is with my darling child, and I forgive her!”’

Blessed Samhain. Tonight your ancestors are close enough to whisper in your ear. A time to honor them. Let the light of their inspiration shine as we enter the dark half of the year. Listen....

John Keats born #otd 1795. He was one of the main figures of the second generation of English Romantic poets. Please listen to “Bright Star”, one of my favorite of his poems, as interpreted by @Llogtrebor

My feet touch the earth
Where my ancestors stepped
Washed in the river
Filled with tears they wept
Nothing dangerous or bewitching
In the secrets they kept
Awaiting nature's rebirth
Blessed even as she slept

Blessed Samhain
Happy Halloween

#Halloween Vignette

It’s All Hallows Eve, cobblestones click in the rain. A haunted carriage arrives at midnight, the veil between the worlds is breached. In a lightning flash the tower shows a stopped clock...an evening bewitched.
