Sunday Thoughts

Linger in the cool morning grass
And let the sun rays dance
Underneath that subtle
Guise you play. Your warm smile of sometimes
Hope, how it makes me grin.
Only now and then when you
Unearth
That strange greatness of
Love inside of your heat,
Only it’s undisturbed joyful
Understands what it’s like to feel it, what it’s like to
Drink all the world has to offer; and when ready, to scream.

Third Eye Blind (excerpt)

Snoop shut the door behind him, quietly, and made his way through the house. Some things he felt with his fingers, others, he smelled.
With eyes closed, he let his fingers lead across walls until he stood in what must be her bedroom.
He refused to open his eyes. He didn’t want to see it.
In the closet, he settled down on top the pile of shoes and clothes, ignoring at first the heel sticking in his back, then, as the hours cam closer, focusing on it, isolating that pain grinding by his spine, passing the haze, making his eyes see splashes of white.

He dozed there through most of those hours until he woke to a steady breath.
The slit of light that had shot through the closet door when he arrived was replaced with a solemn black.
Slowly, Snoop crept out from his nest and felt along the foot of the bed. He followed it the length until he came to the dresser, where he quietly took off his shoes.
The top of it came just above his waist, and its length stretched out as long as a coffin. Carefully he climbed on top of it.
Her breathing came quicker as the jewels in the box rattled while Snoop steadied himself.
Finally, he sat, perched on the edge of it, toes hanging off, facing her on the bed below. He listened to each breath dragged in between her teeth, his heart beat slowed at intervals of each breath until it matched hers.
He reached his hand around to his back pocket and slowly began the count to one hundred.

Sunday Thoughts

Little spark of red
and life to live on. The
hours through the rain and
the long green feilds
of the valley pasture
you have shown me.
Live up to these. Be good
to your new friends.

Sunday Thoughts

There is this chance

and that chance. I'll take one

or maybe the other,

but the next time it comes around.

Converstations from Building Twelve

Walking along the sidewalk, one man comming, the other going.

"What's up?"
"How's it going?"

Nothing more.
