the wind too is kind

in my pocket I want to carry your blink
just prior to your staring unblinking at me
I want to remember forever
those eyes smiling at me
that blink I would take it out on that occasion
when I am sitting with my solitude
when the wind too is kind enough to blow around me

    The words were as light as a breath - the images as strong as an opening eye..Jae

    In just the idea of keeping such a fleeting aspect of a lover's mannerism and having it there to take it out later is very romantic.

    How lovely!

    Like those photos where our eyes are closed, we wish we could make them open forever.

    Gautami, I am so fond of the idea of putting something oblique in one's pocket. I am currently in the jacket pocket of a friend in India! He promised to keep me where there was a good view.

    This was lovely. Thanks, and here's mine for 3WW:

    I love this - the blink suggesting life and that eyes will reopen. Unblinking suggesting death and loss. So beautiful and heartbreaking. I am going to hold onto the idea of keeping the blinks of those I cherish.

    Curious and charming images! I like the idea of carrying around a blink, and the kindness of the wind.
