Let it roll off my shoulders
I am sitting here, staring at a screen, thinking of nothing in particular. Lurid bursts of color swim beneath my eyelids. Maybe I am asleep. I skim over the still frames that I’ve taken throughout my life. Some are faded grit, others clean-lined and terrifying. I weave language, hoping my threads will touch someone outside of the opaque mass of my inward reality. I realize that I do love to be around certain people. I love their voices and their movements and their eyes. I miss them terribly. I feel quite useless sometimes, but not lately. I’m floating on the latent curves of a forming future. Slowly. How quickly it all can be taken away…I choose not to confine myself within my own head. I’ve done that before. I will read my stories and poems and sing my songs and I will find people that will listen. I will capture more still frames and visit the seldom-tread corners of the world. I will speak, I will listen. I will exist.
