Two Clay Pipes
fitted her small, delicate feet perfectly.
Tobacco smoke swirled around her
thighs as she contemplated the pencil
describing his face held by the hand
so realistically emerging from the front
of the postcard addressed
to his German aunt in Andalusia.

Hi Paulloz – a quirky enjoyable short but I did struggle to image the clay pipe shoes being a bit thick – could you expand on the inspiration for the piece? Mitch
An exercise in perception, Mitch. Like a picture of a pipe that has a label stating “This is not a pipe”
Deep stuff! Mine said “this is not a label”.
And equally acute.
