Met
a woman who presented herself with her bird-broken-wing behavior. The reveal of
skin was hardly boundaried as if the incest had never really stopped. But
she had gem quality light coming through from behind her eyes. It was as if she
was a fragile lighthouse possessed
with a dramatic summoning of light. She had the stillness presence of a untamed
rabbit crouch-readied in stance to run from the present. The invitation to
touch her had a body heat enticement. She seemed to be of solid purr readied
for vocalization. Yet the origin of her presence appeared to be made of
misleading fragments, though serenely gathered. Her nervous system seemed to be
generating an unquenchable thirst. Her
vocal range was of a soft inebriation. It was an intimate environment of torn
parts brought together and
streetwise composed. She was a song, as a melody, that
started with the chorus and attempted to solicit realtime lyrics. It struck me
then as if I had been posterized in my feel, as if I was her ‘next’, standing
in this invisible line passing through time. I then realized myself as a
matchbox strike plate. She seized upon me as
a candle with wick, in waiting. Somehow I needed to divine the space and calm
her wound. She was an early evening spider re-spinning her catch-as-catch-can
web, and
I, then, a clearing providing. It was obviously an all to familiar residence
for her and her abandonment postcard was sent to me from afar. I read the
postcard before
the writing had dried. It was being writing to me from
a vast of a foreign land that I was unsightly familiar with and had no interest
in revisiting. I tried to get her to save her postage before she got volitile
and angry while writing down my address. It all became for me, a reflex apparition
as the appearance of a angelic Madonna on the cream surface of a coffee latte. Several
sips of her, and the cup now half empty. What was served hot while first
looking, now, swallows later, is tepid with dismay. What was cast in simmer,
really never left her chorus line. I am praying now for a spirit rose to find
her a nurturance of garden. Petals there to become wings to rise her up above, from
deep within . . .
