intermission

Time as an object--
window air conditioner
battered by a hard rain,
string of lights,
a junior bed,
sunscreen hair,
salty arms shimmering heat,
wrapping me
in good time.

  6. I like the listing technique you have used here. The reader feels as if she (or he perhaps) is gathering up items which promise to become a whole in the final lines. Very evocative pictures.

  8. Love "time as an object" It is not merely minutes ticking away life but tangible life filling minutes.

  10. Time indeed is an object, one to value, although it can't be collected. So beautifully said. Thank you!

  13. I like the almost randomness of the items listed, I say "almost" because I know memory ties them all together. Well done.

  14. This perfectly describes the hug of a child. It's like a reset button. No matter what else is going on, those scents, voices, kisses ... they call an intermission on the outside world. :)
