we are here
softly abandoned
.
glaring at the shadow of
an airplane on the ground
.
one of those luminous day
where every detail is out
.
for count and thanksgiving
following a time dark as
.
the night upon which we
both struggled with
.
eyes wide open to
no avail in fear
.
.
I love this one, it’s so Californian!

It makes me think how I’ve abandoned my journal books for the computer. Something was gained, but, oh that intimacy of pen on paper is lost, maybe forever.

it does talk about intimacy… sorry you feel this way, on the contrary I have a hard time with pen and paper… I keep all my notes and journal on my iphone, it’s my small treasure box, just as much as my sketch book use to be 🙂

We are softly abandoned when looking down upon casted shadows from a distance, with the only clarity being that fear that never makes us comforted. I love the writing and I got something from it, so thanks for sharing your work of art. 🙂

Something here gives the weight of light that presses on the top of the head, suddenly entering another weather with no acclimatising!

I read this aloud a few times to get the full benefit. I hope my recitation didn’t mangle it.
Beautiful work, this.
And I have to agree with Cornelia’s comment: “So Californian.”
