Just when resolved
To reduce an addiction
Après yog’awakened
this sleeping affliction
I’d actually forgotten
antique candlestick
of course, it was gone
for it ’twas Dandy Pick
So congrats to that owner
(can you just share a shot?)
To add to these photos
Mercado’s the Spot.
But back to obsessions,
compulsive disorders…
We know it’s not RIGHT
But we know we’re NOT hoarders…
So the mind started walkin’
2 Memories, different era…
Soon fingers were fondling
the old Talavera.
& Greenware & “stuff”
in this perfect sized shop
Drew me back to Mercado
I just HAD to stop…
There I stroked Tonala
It was square, it was green
a primitive piece
‘for “apps” it’d be keen!’
Pamela, great
Just the right education
& An eye for timeless,
Andy’s Mine! ( ‘magination).
But somehow later that week
(candles still on my mind)
‘Only Barrio Bread…’
Ancient grains warrant time.
For the stop to the Village
(that is, Joesler Place)…
Well, the parking lot full
But adjacent –this space…?!?
So, “I’ll just take a look”
“Gone” again! said the sign
But the windows were free
No harm, Can’t be mine.
Took only a look
at pine-apples so Huge
the skill and the kiln
Vitrine subterfuge…
But then with conviction
“just cut down on pottery”
So what was it that happened?
S’if I’d won the lottery??!!
I just HAD to have it
I was having a ‘paah’tee’
(Was I really going
to Be so Naughty?
Buffet/Candelabra
Glow on Salmon and “moi-la”
Tenderloin rose
Quite the Jammin’ Gala.
Now Clay has past
Shoes are on pause
Bets off on beauté
Not in the ‘health’ clause
And while I feel shame
at times with the stuff
It does remind me of family
of trips and “enough!”
That is, it’s not ‘dowry’
When it’s after the fact
They’d bought the cow
(To say without tact)
My consumptive ways
Came later in life
So I must return ‘home’
& get rid of my wife!
