over my shoulder ~ 12.31.08

Slowly I walk
not towards but away from

I want faded pictures
of tiny objects viewed through squinted eyes

I want distant memories
of out of focus experience to share over coffee

I want impressionist paintings
of vague happenings to be all that lingers

Slowly I turn
not away from but towards...

  3. Nice to meet you La Lunatique. Thanks for stopping by. I reading this piece from a place where all the pain is sharp and focused. I tell myself that time reneders it softer, blanketed in the fog or months and years. It must be true. "Out of focus experiences over coffee" sounds lovely.
