home for the holidays.
1. hiking through the woods to brother anthony's cabin, i discovered he had extended silence over sign language and the written word. a cup of tea, a worn plaid blanket around my shoulders. i realized how much of my conversation is meant to pull information out of other people. 2. down the shore, the wind blew in like a wall. a post-apocalyptic light swept over the abandoned military base, and i ran up the crumbling concrete slabs like a leaf in a breeze. 3. the birds in the golden grass were crisp and careful as paint-by-numbers. 4. nobody died, and nobody went crazy. 5. the falling snowflakes caught the light, shining like fireflies.
* * * reading: a biography of alice james. listening to: matthew and the atlas. working on: setting them up and knocking them down. in the garden: the ume are blooming on campus. i'll never get over this.
