glimmer


June 5th, 2008

In the cool dark of the bedroom, afternoon, after work, after many hours awake and fragmented by the needs of the day, push-pull, ache in the throat, thirsty for quiet, and now I’m face down among the bedclothes and the cat comes up and brushes against my foot. Just this. Fur on skin. I take a breath.

    Lovely. A prose poem, a wonderful way to start the day.

    I wish I had a long dirt road.

    We all feel like crappy parents sometimes (your post a few days ago,)

    :)

    P.S. Is that beer in the glass? Yummy-yummy.

    That picture is plays the coolest mind tricks….I love how it appears to zoom toward me as I scroll. Has your summer officially begun yet?
