I do not die. I saunter the same route over and over. I do not cry. I moisten the goblet and stay sober, worshipping the intangible, every aesthetic fiber. Like a sweater I once wore, I stretch until no more, thinking too much, trying as such. Then, I let go, shrinking to a ball,…

immortal
“We are all mortal until the first kiss and the second glass of wine.” ~ Eduardo Galeano I guess, if I am not willing to take a risk and go for the unusual, I will remain trapped in this limbo. For The Daily Post’s weekly photo challenge, Unusual.
goodbyes
When bands of color shimmer in the sky, I think of you. When wings flap, I think of you. When the singing gets louder and clearer, I think of you. When the night winks, I think of you. People seem to leave. Good people. 訃報続きで、ちょっと、へこむ。
self-assured
I have a catharsis when I do the things I’m not supposed to do – having ice cream for dinner, eating a bowl of cereal at 10:45 pm, standing at the edge of a surface and looking down, being unkempt, cutting hair myself, hiding while feeling sorry for myself. “Inspiration is for amateurs. The…
emancipation
Can I be silly and ridiculous? Like when I was a child; when my hair was down, and walking barefoot was the norm; when I didn’t know much; when I chased the impossible, like soaring birds. Can I be a fool and follow my dreams? For Three Line Tales, Week 76

I didn’t have a plan.

over the rainbow
We spent our time together when we were young, vibrant, fragile, and full of hope. We got old and wise. Memories, however, never wane, and you remain beautiful. For The Daily Post’s weekly photo challenge, Bridge.
via dolorosa
They got divorced right around the time I lost my husband. Our circumstances were slightly different – I referred to my late husband and them to their ex-husbands, and I couldn’t even ask a simple question to mine whereas they had to keep in communication with theirs to discuss legal issues. We, however, were all…
