Diamonds in a Puddle

He opened his mouth and diamonds fell out.

The pile of sparkling rocks grew sizable.

His head fell bloodlessly from his shoulders.

It plopped on the pile staring back at her.


She put on a pot of tea for the head.

The steam from the tea formed a grand pink cloud.

The cloud became aware and stretched its limbs.

It formed two arms and legs, grabbing the head.


The head sat upon the cloud's broad shoulders.

She poured herself a cup of tea to sip.

When the cup reached her lips, the rim puckered.

The cup kissed her lips like her first lover.


When the last drop was drank, the cup fell down.

It shattered upon the ground in pieces.

Then the shards crawled their way back together.

They formed a bird that flew to the cloud man.


The bird went inside the cloud's puffy chest.

It pecked from the inside, making heart beats.

The cloud man spasms with each heart thumping.

His vapor body precipitated. 


The pink liquid formed a puddle below.

The bird went inside the head and floated.

The head crashed through the ceiling; Fly away.

Her hand pushed the diamonds in the puddle.
