the missing components .....In the woods, the snow was falling.
soft fur..........................."expectant cold ground," I muttered.
the fruits of wishful thinking....... My cold fingers moved sluggishly on the keyboard,
the sound of water.........and I thought about dust
for as long as I could remember......and cat hairs in the cracks between the keys.
into the safety of the CyberCreek....................
brown grass on the hills... On the screen, there was a message from Mary.
a flowered dress..............(In Boca Raton, where the snow never falls.)
where black ice had formed.....
his body...............Shutdown.
shimmering in the early morning light............... in the pines, in the pines......................... licking herself as the sun went down ........................ on the outskirts of town .................... a white shirt....................... making love...................... the children laughing.......... blue jeans......................... potato soup...................... footprints.......................... ........... a dark corner.................... the pine trees overhead...... walking............................. riding................................ the horizon........................
