I Want to Be Disappointed

I Want to Be Disappointed · 4:3

Blonde girl lying back in a hazy summer garden, face turned to the sky, arms open, among pink dahlias, white daisies and floating soap bubbles in soft overexposed light. Signed Magpie.

A blonde girl lies back in a summer garden with her face turned up to the sky, arms open, hair spilling into the grass, surrounded by pink dahlias, daisies and drifting soap bubbles. The light is hazy and overexposed, like a photograph left in the sun. The poem behind her begins 'I want to be disappointed more often, it means I cared enough to desire,' and she is lying in the garden wanting things, out loud, with her arms open.

Made from a poem.
