beginning

So i'm giving a go at this blogging thing, mainly because it's the only way I can think of to get writing again, which is way past due. Here it go.

bits and pieces of my thesis have been read by people here and there, so i figure sharing some of what is in there wouldn't hurt too bad. 

Mornings in limbo

miles traveled through snow

latitude lines

hotel parking lots with fake mills

pumping stale water into ponds

filled with pennies people left behind

hoping to make wishes come true

I imagine this    to be different

 

your migration was swift

hoping not to be seen

you moved through the night

baby in belly

you held everything close

tried to stay warm

strong

alive

 

by the time you reached where you were going

things

laws

had changed

and no one came looking for you

only while sleeping did you hear

the distant barking of dogs

your own feat

hitting hard on soft ground

a deafening heartbeat

 

I have these dreams too sometimes

the genetic imprint you left   passed to me

still find myself

running

searching for someplace

safer than this

home maybe

 

And why do I remember at times like this

always while traveling

always by water

always in the morning
