Silver rising through glass, stalked
blooms arms length, like febrile kisses
to a blanched left hand, she squeeezed
to white

Interesting. Can't make my mind up which to go for. I'll have a think.
Yikes!

I have to hurry if I'm catching the bus this time. I'll be on the road for more than a week, leaving Friday. If I can't make it, I'll be with you in spirit!

I have number one as an artistic representation of the alimentary canal, number three is an ancient Szechuam manuscript and number four is the surface of Jupiter's moon Io, seen at a distance of 200,000 miles.
No idea about number two.
they can be whatever you want them to be!
Just to let you know I've scheduled my contribution to appear on Sunday.
Must rush!
Jupiter's moon? I thought it was something seen down a microscope.
i'll reveal all on the day
