Santa's elf is getting frustrated by the toy assembly instructions. Insert tab A into slot B, but where is tab A? And what about this weird extra piece that doesn't fit anywhere?

“…til Max said ‘BE STILL’ and tamed them with the magic trick of staring into all their yellow eyes without blinking once. They were frightened and called him the most wild thing of all, and made him king of all wild things.”

Baby Blues

BABY BLUES

Look at me my

dark scarlet heart disguised in pink

I am Look! At! Me!

Oh I'm the pure blue force of Want

howling through thin walls

like a prairie wind.

I am so large and empty

Why do the cheerios stick to the backs of my hands?

When I push the bear through the bars,

Why is it gone? I want that bear.

I want

Oh listen, the jingleshudder of ears getting up

the dog! Oh comecomecomecomecomecomecomecome

gone.

I want that dog.

Oh keep your pastel colours.

Boredom is a purple need. Hunger is vermillion.

I want my dark blue heaven milk mothermother

but the minute I fall into darkness she puts me down.

They do, they put you down. The big ones

only want one thing: to leave you alone.

You have to stay awake, see.

The big ones are my shepherd and I shall want

with the pure blue force

of a howling wind I want

the dog the bear the milk I want

every cheerio that fell on the floor I want

the brightest colours

all pressed hard against my gums

I want

the world

and it will not fit

in my mouth.

This easter bunny just sat on her stash of chocolate eggs and is not looking forward to the trip home to get more. No sir.

Found on Sadie Olive Photography. Her work is amazing, beautiful stuff with wonderful light – super sweet.

here.

In comes the new year, same as the old year. Happy New Year!
