some people feel the rain. others get wet.26.5.12
dear sand,
today my fingernails are finally growing. nobody noticed,
but i haven't bitten them in almost a week. i'm very proud of myself. last
night the letters in my notebooks swam. maybe putting off writing is a good
idea. the christmas lights are starting to go up on the apartment sills out of
my window. mine have been up for two weeks, but it's exciting to think that the
holidays have actually started. soon i'll get a tree, and breathe pine and
lights every day. it's not even christmas.
love, waves.
dear sand,
i walked on my roof today. all the people scuttling on the
ground gave me a headache, so i sat and swung my feet over the edge. you'd
probably say it's too dangerous, but it feels alive to thump the building with
my heels. my tea came in the mail. it smells really good, but i'll put it away
until you come.
love, waves.
dear grains of rock,
my cat died. the last thing i said to her was get off the
bed. i have only ever cried over you.
sincerely, wild portions of the ocean.
dear silicon dioxide,
tums taste nice. they're all i've eaten today, so i thought
of you. you'd feed me, wouldn't you? put a sandwich in my mouth with my hand. i
poured my leftover tea into the street from the top of the building. black tea
has zero calories, which is a pretty number. it almost hit a child skipping,
but he dodged it and held onto his mum's hand more tightly. that made me sad,
so i thought of you.
more love, waves.
dear sand,
the tea from yesterday isn't yours. the ribbon is tempting,
but i shan't. shan't is another word i've learned from reading european fairy
tales. especially that one about the sprite in a woman's body who falls in love
with a knight. that one's pretty. i missed your voice today, more than usual.
i'm tired without you, particles.
love, waves.
dear you,
be quiet.
signed, me.
