still. dream friends.

dream friends

(written by Alicia/ date unknown)

i was one of, a part
close to you
a mirror in the sky sent our images
so directly to places unknown of
until the stones of their lonely beaches
were glanced upon with absolute certainty
"hello, i see you now. i must have
been looking over you
for so long before i saw your light."
little stars, we are.
"i promise never to lose you."
but i always lose you, so when
we are apart i will know you in
everything unfamiliar.

The End.

thank you leslie for these pages
im figuring this out - and your words
help tremendously.

my grandmother and brother passed and im lost from them - i feel so distant and empty - blank- a crazy kind of emotional vertigo -

A, im sorry i havn't said hello in so long - i have a son now, he reminds me of you.
really fucking nuts with more love than you think could be -
It's hard to live lite these days- i been trying real hard to figure a way and to be decent and generous.
we had such delightful tangles with this world - you where the part of my life that was a movie, a wonderful love story that i will forever have.


all my love

the Mahmoud Darwish worms bit
settles me - really incredible

oh. oh no. i thought it might be you and i'm sorry about steven and your grandma.. its still really new. approaching 3 years and time still remains indistinct. memories are near then far, so real and then like they never happened. i agree we should talk sometime. xo L
