Beautiful Day            I was like one of those music box ballerinas. I moved my limbs stiffly in practiced, predictable gestures along an imaginary track as I walked from the end of my register, behind the conveyer belt, and into my little cashier box walls made of grocery bags to the left, register keyboard in front, and computer screen and register drawer to the right. In the background, tired old nineties and eighties pop songs echoed over and over through the grocery store aisles.

Braille 
the crocodile ridges of his spine  were vertebrae Braille that read:     
if        you  would  run  -  away  from  me  -  oh       love   
-  I   
 
-      could  not  run  -  after          you   
-  otherwise,  one           day  I  
-  will  
 
catch you

at the hospitalSister sits rigid and dented  on top of white sheets.   
She has been reinvented as a machine  of whirred breathing and latent electricity  
 
while intravenous cords coerce  her fiber-optic synapses  
to light up again.   
 
One day, with a  
snap  her retinas will glitter  
with the vivid summers of swirling  matte-blue and raspy-green blurs  born of when we rolled down hills,  spitting out laughter and grass clippings;   
the line of her lips will curl in imitation  of our legs bent in the air  
when we laid heartbeat-down on the floor at the hospital

three-ring circusA gnat sneaks up on Mrs. Simmons' Circus Peanuts as haphazardly as a gnat can on a day besides Sunday. It performs clumsy maneuvers in front of my face, perhaps thinking that I am blind and only destined to touch and destroy like itself. It cannot think that it is infinitely smaller than me, or that my judging eyes are following every single movement it makes, and yet it does; it whirs out of the way knowingly when my hand attempts to swipe it down.  
 
This is the kind of metaphor I used to believe in. But I operate under no illusions now; if I were to leave the room, the gnat would still dart away from every disturbance in the air three-ring circus

  • Listening to: Bethany's guitar
  • Reading: draft of a genealogy paper
I realize I haven't been on in a bit. Things have been crazy lately. I'm doing NaNo, and so I've had that and college and sleeping (sometimes) taking up my time. I haven't forgotten about you guys, I promise. :)

I fear I'm falling behind with personal thank-yous, so I'd like to thank everyone who's commented/faved/watched (!) me in the past week or so since my DD. You guys rock! :heart:

Well, not much else for now. Things will probably be busy for a little while longer, but I'll try to check in a bit more often.

Have a wonderful morning/afternoon/evening/night. :)

P.S. (House was absolutely wonderful tonight. Welcome back, Lucas~!)
