A stop motion portrayal of euphoric remembrance, first love, first loss, and the release of contained adoration into a life of isolation and regret.
I met her on Halloween
I was a skeleton
She was a rabbit
The thing about rabbits is
They’re hard to catch
Especially when riding a bicycle
That year, I got a bike for my birthday
We would ride
Soaring like lovebirds
And I still remember her hair on the wind
Always in the latest fashion
She would stand in front of the mirror
Naked
For hours
Weeping
I would stare at her body
She was beautiful
I tried drawing other figures
But she was the only doll for me
Her favorite thing was an old Barbie
“Kept it in an antique cedar chest,” she said
One night, I surprised her
And came over with a pendant
A lovebird
But she was gone
So I opened the chest
To put the medallion ‘round her doll
My love was inside
All curled up
She called me, “A gatecrasher.”
I called her, “My Pandora.”
She was an enigma
After that
I took the key to her chest
To her heart
That’s when she closed herself off
Shut herself in
Locked me out
She slowly disappeared
But never faded away
Legend says a true skeleton key
Can unlock anything
Except my bicycle bunny in the box
That will never open again
This skeleton key doesn’t work…

A demented ice cream man’s delusional love for a lactose intolerant woman obsessed with ice cream.
“Remember when I went to prick your eye with a hair pin and you started crying and I said to shut your socket or those tasty tears will soon crimson into droplets of blood as I scoop those baby blues out of your skull? Remember that?
“I must have gotten a dust particle in my eye today. The robots that scanned my pupils did not see innocence, only the burgundy coating of a dust particle hellbent on dilation. I blinked fervently and when one robot inquired as to if I was making a pass at it’s lubricated tube, I winked and said, “Not unless you scan it to be,” at which point the robot took it’s handclamp and systematically pried my eye open under the bright florescent light before scanning it with laser beams as red as the scarlet liquid which had tendency to congeal around your rosy cheeks under the smooth, pale skin. The robot said, “No, Human. Indeed I do not scan it so,” then dropped the clanking gruel cup of mushed memories forever frozen at my feet…and rolled away.
“I want you to know I would have never popped your sight balloons. I would not have been able to handle the air that escaped those peepers, but I would have inhaled, breathed it in. I will not deny that.
“I was quite satisfied with the way you looked for the most part, and I would not wish to gaze upon a melted vanilla scoop with strawberry syrup drizzling down your creamy complexion. Back then, Beauty was ice cream.
“But Beauty is in the Eye of the Beholder, and today, Beauty is a dust particle. Lashes to ashes…lust to dust…”
