the 10 of 12 given words
bruised dancing joints wedding 
music fiddled bar dusty weight lips

bruised ego dancing
in seedy joints to forget
a disappointment

no wedding music
fiddled with the liberal
bar's downing of booze

but to clear dusty 
minds putting weight on sane lips
like dignified souls

  1. Great images and lines Hank. I liked this one....
    but to clear dusty
    minds putting weight on sane lips

  3. I can almost hear a song here too which goes so well with the images
    "putting weight on sane lips
    like dignified souls"

  9. Some want a fuss made at their weddings other a low key affair. Usually the groom has to go along with the decision as it appears to be her day!

  10. There's a slow melancholy dance in these words.
