i--
[gently, dear]
i can't--
[calm down]
i can't...draw a line without
sh-sh-shaking!!!
WHY. said He.
(i'm fairly certain that each letter of the newsprint just flew at me
IN RED. AND GRAY.)
(and it's a good thing that such things only serve to strengthen my faith--)
(!--)
(but the colors--the beautiful colors--)
numerous nonsensical notions knitted my mouth with lightning thread,
(what a laughing fit. now. just for the record,
let's just leave this out of the foreground.)
[and i gasped for air!]
[though i choked between the lines--]
[and i gasped for air!]
and i screamed thunder.
there was potential--oh how there was potential!
i've lost so many i loved--or could grow to love--
(i miss you so much.)
and of course i will lose more!
i--well, i--
(i miss you)
yet the present hour's arctic breath--
(and sometimes my wings grow numb--[dry, decaying, dead])
i want to be with you where you are!
(yet i still like it here--when that hour arrives
as it is, riding gently--
i would steal it--and i wouldn't like to be here.)
i don't want to be here.
(i want to be with you!)
perhaps dancing~
with angels~
in heaven~
-
we would dance and dance and dance
in the presence of the Almighty,
and everything would be [just] ~perfect~
-
[forgive me for the inkblot. (a vinyl teardrop just fell from the ceiling.)
forgive me that the ink has smeared.
(i swear) boys don't cry.
-maybe this could help me hide.-]
(and all the time--i kept inside!--)
(for all this life i wiped from my eyes--)
i want to be with you!
(i want to be there.)
we're done with this.
(i still wish i could have known you better.)
