seethingblue's Diaryland Diary ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- all that death in winter I have never been to a train station, or walked barefoot down the street. I always want to live in a city that sleeps by midnight, where every house quietly faces the sidewalk, the neverending patterns of fire hydrant, storm drain, mailbox, and christmas lights blink on until sunrise, that sound of dump trucks making early runs on friday mornings, a woman with runs in her stockings, ankles crossed, children climbing up and down the pews in church. I etch these thoughts out in my head because the cold has made it through the tiny cracks in the wall, the bottom of the house, and there is no food in the house, so i eat candycanes and wait for good things to happen to me because i have been waiting patiently my whole life 22:00 - 16 December, 2003 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
