Imaginary Landscape

I DID IT!!! Originally uploaded by poppy smiles . © B A Saunders The Buick swims into the driveway, its fins glistening in the sun sinking behind the house across the street. His two tries for a son rush, flutter out to his feet, their mutual end: to be first. Pick me up, spin me around till I get real dizzy. Me first, dad, spin me around. I remember being dizzy, the warm breath of an expiring afternoon around my neck and shoulders in the whirl.

Dear consumer: Manufactured eons ago, your puzzle, of the finest star stuff, bits of lovers, soldiers, peasants and kings, was cut with a fine diamond saw at the most strategic junctures to result in separations so sublime they may have wept or bled at the moment of separation. Spread these delicate pieces, strong and independent, upon a surface, free of adhesions, attachments, although some fine, white sand is acceptable, vaulted by a summer sky. Sort the pieces of your ruthless entertainment into matching groups, according to corners, edges, colours – hopes, dreams and fears. Find shapes that seem similar – some may resist separation from loose attachments that occurred in the shuffle of time; some may cry out from the extremes, longing for the match they once dreamed about in childhood – If you see these pieces bring them together carefully, old and recent cuts will make them cautious. Be patient, take time, join as needed. © B A Saunders All rights reserved Photo uploaded by WindeB
