The Last Tattoo(c) Singleton 2008
Peace,
a tattered Kite,
wilted
mildewed,
lost in the wind,
dancing
free
and
going low...
dipping under
tree limbs
power lines
"Do not Enter"
signs
and laughing...
A sudden butterfly....
Peace,
a broken window,
panes shattered,
splintered,
laced in cobweb
art,
etch~a~sketched
by "come~hither~to"
widows in mourning,
mouth wide open for
the sunshine
streaming
pouring,
a long necked bottle of
golden beer....
suddenly intoxicated....
a gate to secret worlds....
Peace....
a tarnished penny
balanced
heads up
between
the couch cushions
six years old
and two relationships
later,
waiting....
a trinket
of hope
and superstition,
a sudden
meant~to~be....
Peace.....
the accidental finding
of
all you've
never ever looked for
but everything you've ever
dreamed of
in the damndest places
at the damndest times....
a mathematical fraction
so miniscule in the big picture,
it's all consuming
and overwhelming
and rocks your world....
Peace....
The last tattoo....
Wear it well, baby....

I read last night
of a mathematician
who discovered
that if a butterfly
flaps its wings
in Brazil
She can create
a tornado
on the other side
of the world...
And I know you know...;)
have always known
Keep spreadin
your wings
and
whisperin
peace

this
old Australian
window

flappin' it's wings
in Brazil

on the other

May the circle be unbroken
Peace~love
in the

The Butterfly Effect....
Found penny,heads up
reads:
Liberty
and
In God We Trust
A profound treasure.
Babs...
Clink! Real time!
And yes, girl,
a profound treasure.....
And,
today,
the lucky
clinkity tinkity clinked
to the bottom of the wishing pond,
landing face up,
smiling at me,
from a world away....
And I smiled...
In God we trust....
I came to read again,
of the sudden butterfly
and etch the tattoo
onto my hand...
Peace...
Love to you my friend, M
The only tattoo you'll ever need...
the reminder....
Peace where we
make it,
find it,
believe in it....
Much love, my friend,
Wishing you butterflies
in an unexpected sky....
