There is very little I wouldn't stick in a favorites list, but I just love these:<br /><br />"makes cupcakes out of kerosene<br />and frosts them with a cigarette lighter"<br /><br />"the mix, the bowl, the eggs with their soulful yellow eyes" Goodness, I love this line, particularly the yellow eyes.<br /><br />"Siobhan picks up frequencies in her fingers"<br /><br />Love all your weird conceptuals. She is bizarre indeed. I liked that you made her a fiery Irish girl. :)<br /><br />More great stuff:<br /><br />"overspill our sweet white skins"<br /><br />"Cops and firefighters jump from every picture frame"<br /><br />"the little paper baking cups in their thousands<br />rise as fire birds" My favorite image!<br /><br />Until this, of course. This gives me chills:<br />"Siobhan lifts her hands,<br />and they recognize their song<br />at once."<br /><br />Superb!Alicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09212391351233448784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3107838361391025851.post-29692770343778715512013-02-12T13:24:14.555-05:002013-02-12T13:24:14.555-05:00I love the eggs with soulful yellow eyes!I love the eggs with soulful yellow eyes!Maude Lynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03669688074743095866noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3107838361391025851.post-65728485675119723992013-02-12T11:47:55.758-05:002013-02-12T11:47:55.758-05:00I didn't know you were writing an autobiograph...I didn't know you were writing an autobiography....lol.
