“Unearthing heavenly words to interpret my mortal insides” (Once again I find myself liberating Urenda’s words from various pieces to serve my own purposes - letter to my husband - when my emotions are deep but my words are shallow. Thank you Kevin for sharing your often-parallel journey. I appreciate you, your poetry and your soul.) It has been said far more eloquently than I, when you place your faith in someone else's heart you cannot later claim that you made a mistake for this is the most conscious choice a human being can make- Inattentive we’ve allowed our fears to keep us from yielding willing ourselves to the love of the other and in vain given birth to unconscionable acts- We cannot find the one answer deep inside us our words cannot go there naturally, the language of skin has lost its beauty and that place - that feeling - that emotion is simply excruciating. I am, instead, taunted by words with no answers spread out on the living room floor like counterfeit oracles The Oregon Divorce Kit The Dictionary of Cliches Depaak Chopra’s The Path to Love Ativan 1 mg three times daily as needed for anxiety Yoga for Dummies The Monster’s Ball The Best of Dells’ Crossword Puzzles #62 Spiegel Fall Winter 2002 Edward Weston’s Forms of Passion as if to say "you are the only us in the universe who cannot find that one beautiful thing – the one answer." And your face, your touch, our dreams are not among them. Just L July 23, 2002 |
