green


make sure you write him a note so he knows it was you
breeding / laying the ground for future disaster / possibility

i introduced myself as "irrelevant" tonight and she was charmed
ironic

"we miss you", the younger one had said...
"we know you are the man behind the curtain"
random

baby witch
breeding / laying the ground for...
shocking to realize that now i am she

walking around in circles
walking around in circles
sleep

cherry moon

monumental nines...

- worried about his disappearing / silence
- won a tiny / big battle
- listened to her make peace with the inevitability of ending
- heard horrible / awful stories about the violence of puppies and offered my hand
- made a friend by revealing a glimpse of her future self
- rode the subway with a magician who let me in on some of the secrets of mindreading
- looked back and said hello
- gave a gift / reward in the form of a warning / smile
(copied her style - she knew i would understand!)
- conceded defeat, which always calls forth that which i have resigned myself to not want

sighs float across miles and land in his beer
the timeline becomes more clear

launch the sparkles into space and watch her fly
this must be heaven

planetary (mis)alignment

yesterday was the weirdest day in the history of ever
today comes in second

twenty years is too much
(evil) seven is not enough

he followed me to a reception

it's true
fingers touch
and we move on
(deafening silence)

i feel like my husband should probably have asked for a divorce (in private) before announcing on facebook that he is engaged to the mother of his two children. i sent him a message and suggested that perhaps we should talk...no reply

'cause black is how i feel on the inside

and if i seem a little strange
well, that's because i am

the lizard, again

sometimes trying to do the right thing isn't the best thing.
(most of the time, in fact...)
