a white shirt........................Like water, rushing
unstoppable
soft fur...........................from a broken water main
warm milk......................flooding the dry grass behind
the barn,
the sound of water.........uninvited guests swarmed into our hitherto secluded cabin,
rain................................retreating with crumbs of
information.
cold water......................I imagined them biting into my white arms
blood stains....................making irrritating sounds (like
mosquitos),
brown grass on the hills...
a flowered dress..............going home with the taste of my blood in their open mouths.
a glass of beer.................
sleep...............................
background noise............
low flying planes.............
intermittent pain...............
the smell of green grass....
warm sun.........................
a red front door................
cold cereal........................
working............................
the spinning clay....................
blue shirt.......................
making love......................
the children laughing..........
blue jeans.........................
potato soup......................
never know why...............
nausea..............................
footprints..........................
unwashed windows...........
a dark corner....................
the pine trees overhead......
walking.............................
riding................................
the horizon........................
