I bargain
Memories from bins
Lives offered
On discount
Smiles to fill windowless frames
A surrogate tribe
2
A face formed
As a passion fruit
Smoky eyes
Strabismic
An articulate smile is
Worth its weight in gold

Eight dollars
For a shapely peach
Six dollars
For “new” jeans
Fifteen dollars for the chest
Witch bones included

Lovely Yves, I could see you haggling your best.
Haha I am much too shy to haggle but I love going into secondhand shops you can find some great unique pieces. In the stores everything is identical and in Sweden particularly people tend to decorate their houses the same. Same furniture, same art, same everything no joke I can’t even tell whose house I am in. Sam and are eccentrics lol
Cool take on the prompt! 🙂
Thanks Helen!
Wonderfully done Yves…likedthe pace and rhythm you obtained weaving each stanza into the next. A pleasure to read.
Thank you Bastet! I was particularly drawn to that strange portrait.
🙂 happy it inspired!
smiles…i love going to yard sales….the opening line buying memeories from the bargain bin is a very cool set up…in taking the memories of another will they become ours or…?
I think we imprint a bit of ourselves onto that which we love
Very funny, exquisite irony!
Thanks Leovi =)
Holy Zeus, you managed to make this form mega interesting for me! 😀
Oh wow thank you! I am so happy to hear that =)
This is beautifully done, Yves. Very imaginative 🙂
Thanks Celestine =)
