With my fierce language; it's my writing language, not my speaking words. In speech I am always bright.
Write from rawness. How else to find where we are? Plummet, forget safety. Go for the bleeding. Or maybe that's not it. Maybe it's bathing in nectars of fire.
The burning halo came anyway. And then I was alone. Leave the books behind to write.
I walk past a slate black iron tub in which a wash of rusted water runs, an Ecumenical bath.
A man in a white shirt photographs a bird-bath in the Church garden, a series of circular waterfalls in which birds shake their wings, flapping water.
An ambulance sirens by and crumb-pecking sparrows flutter so quickly to hide in the yellow rose bush that I laugh.
I am walking to a store to look at a sheer red shawl impregnated with flowers that I will not buy, but find myself standing near the park, writing in my notebook.
Two pigeons interlock in a dance on the ground nearby: the beak of one deep inside the mouth of the other, their grey heads bobbing back and forth. Is it a love dance?
It was humiliating that I was coerced into a dead-end corner with one ungraceful exit so the infidelity could occur.
