1. I would like to be as true as a hologram I saw in the snow this winter day. A streaking silver shimmer crossed pinks and blues against the tyranny of gray and white and gray and gray, and white, and gray. I would like to be as true as cracking ice in the rearview mirror, breaking free like tiny flat birds to the sky tumbling down into white explosions on black ice and asphalt. I would like to watch my heart crack at the seam, like sheets of ice over car windows, tiny cracks becoming moisture as the cabin warms, slowly to dripping, and then the wipers send giant glaciers to the street. I'd like to shatter everything away that covers up the green within me- from the inside out, I'd like to feel some warmth in my stomach; to grow light from my fingertips, to never shiver. To hold a sun inside my heart, an engine to move me forward, a soft glow maybe sparks in my eyes. 2. If only trying got us more than credit- at the end of this trip, there are debts to pay and something must be done, if we are to pay them- we must have the glow enough to justify 80 years of eating. -e. _______________________________________________ Five7Five mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/five7five
