Ode to a brown paper bag

Today's picstory is inspired by a poem of Gillena Cox.

On monday I read it in her meme "Monday WRites" 

and I was immediately fascinated by this idea and the poetic power of her words.

My "inner cinema" showed me a whole story behind it, and so I made this picstory.

ODE TO A BROWN PAPER BAG

there it lies, folded at the creases,

crisp, neat lines lay on the kitchen counter;

shall i unfold it, expand it, open it

to sounds of morning; filling it with

a din of twitterings,

i mean to cram all those birdsongs into

a brown paperbag; so vast this ideal

of a dawning sky, where does one begin

to draw rainbows? where does the dark

of night hang his obsidian coat?

it peters out, the earliest din;

so the opened brown paper bag

now stands on the kitchen counter

seemingly empty
