Abdomen Shine



vivisection sky
unstuff the tenderloin clouds
scrub my organs clean

That landscape looks rather like it has been cleaned and swept.

P.S.-I followed a link which said that there are contests in here. Pray, where could they be?

Peace is where you find it, even in the OR of a biting landscape.

Truly a fantastic shot Jason.

Chris Eldin said...

Literally, breathtaking!!!
:-)

That landscape does glimmer like a scalpel. Amazing photo, Jason.

Renewal can hurt. Or maybe it's the longing for renewal and peace that cuts the deepest.

A powerful plea for rebirth. Or redemption. Or maybe a little of both.

I really like this, the sharp-edged imagery. Of course, my favorite poet is Sylvia Plath. ;)

Karen said...

Gorgeous shot and great imagery in the plea.

Aggie, a very strange moment visually. The ground brighter than the sky.

Scribblers, I hold periodic contests. At this point, I'm planning on the next one in April or May.

Walking Man, that's a great line! I'm afraid the anesthesia might not be taking.

Catvibe, thanks!

Chris, quite a day. :)

Sarah, so, so true. And I'm not sure how to know which is which.

Jennifer, you've grabbed the heart of it. Maybe it's even wanting the most pain possible in a plea to speed the process.

Karen, I love the fast-paced, unpredictable nature of photography from a moving car. You have to see it and take it. No time to deliberate.

@ Jason:
A great shot... somehow the absence of everything itself has filled the void! (Are we losing our writer to a photographer?? :-D )

@ Sarah: I honestly don't know how you come up with such lines..."it's the longing for renewal and peace that cuts the deepest"
That one line sums up the story of my life!!! :)

Beautiful contrast between sky and ground, as the words rise sacrosanct in their request.

Stark, yet lush with meaning and austere beauty. Aloha, fellow lover of the velvet night ;-)

Aniket, don't worry. The photographer and writer live well together. Thanks!

Kaye, a poetic response. :) Thanks.

Cloudia, many thanks. And yes, I do like to draw my fingers across the velvet night.
