what's your mode of transport?
mine is the sun. when it rises dripping from the sea when it falls like honey on the trees when it swallows up clouds my soul moves with it.
mine is you.

"You stupid great lump of a girl." I dream at night of whispered sand, of camel trains and Samarkand. "No one will ever hold your hand." I see visions of ancient halls where tapestry lovers tryst on walls. Where passion waits impatiently, with hasty strides for sight of me. "You're so lazy!" I have sailed on a lotus flower, stolen gold from Persian towers. "You never do anything" I have walked in dust on the moon, drifted on the winds of the world, and all the while in a chair I'm curled. -The Secret Life of Plain Jane, by Rae Pater |
