introspective periscope : peeking inside since Y2K ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- season's lease time to go - fifth of september, 2002 "the summer ends and we wonder who we are and there you go my friends, with your boxes and your cars."~dar williams its getting colder at night and our naked bodies entwine under more layers of blankets and bedspread, our warmth oozing into our pillows and between us so smoothly that its hard to ever want to wake up. those hours before dawn, those darkest coldest hours, are the sweetest to wake up to, nose cold and sniffing the hints of autumn, awake only long enough to realize how extremely crisp and sweet these moments are. and its been getting dark earlier every night, the downward slope of the bell shaped curve of seasons passing. when i'm leaving work, its hard to believe i missed another sunset, another summer thunderstorm. i am feeling more and more caged here, more and more cooped up. its sort of amusing, perhaps. the summer was spent getting used to the cave of the office job, but i've become burned out but tied to it for necessity...a break is impending, lest i crash and burn and become forever a part of the walls and carpet and chairs and clipboards and papers and pencils of this world...a world that, lets face it, will smite my spirit if it gets the chance. and i'm not about to let that happen. oh, no i'm not. this spirit longs to go outside and smell the leaves changing and look for the first crystals of frost on pumpkin vine. and the ache to move on is chasing us both, i think. each day that passes makes us all the more determined to change our lot...to move out of this small town...to find a place to settle in...to put down some roots. yes, the summer is ending...and its beginning to get a little bit uncomfortable again. we grow restless and ready. it is nearly time, we breathe to each other. it is nearly time....time for the seasons to change again. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- .what came before. - .what happened next. a diamond at the bottom of the drain - 20 october 2017 |
