salt and sugar

Simple as salt
yet sweet as sugar

forever blanched
in a world

of rainbows

  1. A dazzling dream of an image! And what I love so about the words that you have written to accompany is that on any given day they may conjure a varied translation. a world of rainbows does as the image itself, captures and enraptures, directly and immediately (in both cases), stimulating feelings based in light and colour, in joy and pleasure.
    (I wonder if it would always be light, and look forward to the experiment of reading it at other times)

  2. Sweetest, this one is pure autobiography. The two things I seem to be consistently called is Simple and Sweet and in those two words I feel as out of place as white in a world of rainbows.
