camille It was a beautiful day in Korea, the smoke from the rice fields did not show a trace this day, except for a faint smell of burnt chaff...

I walked on the roof top to see what the locals were doing as I traced the roofline wall...

Looking down into the cramped space between my apartment and the next was a room with no roof in the shape of a triangle...i had seen this crawl space before, yet dismissed the closeness of the adjoining walls. Housing so many..

This day was different, it was a chilly February day, and within the confines of that threee dimensional wall sat a young woman in a squatting position locking arms within herself trying to stay warm..

There she huddled, and here i huddled in my warm apartment...stories of people stealing, and the thought of a thief, kept me from inviting her in..

I could not sleep as nightfall shrouded she and i...

12:00 midnight the moon rustled me out of my bed as it shown brightly telling me about ocean's pull..and the breeze that blew..

I walked and paced thinking about the young woman, thought about offering a blanket...yet not wanting to intrude on her isolation, nor wanting to offend.

Without another argument with self..i walked to the linen closet and retrieved a blanket. A brown blanket that was as red as earth contrasting the cement world she had created for herself.

In the night i whispered, "Yobosayo" meaning hello...she stirred yet could not figure where the sound had trailed from... again i called out...

Looking up into the moon i could make out her face...I waved a blanket in the midnight blue...she raised her arms up to the heavens and thanked it for her warmth.

The blanket fell two stories as the breeze guided it into her waiting cold hands. She quickly wrapped the blanket round her as i noticed the reflection of a gold band around her wedding finger...

The moon reflected trouble in paradise..

All was quiet all was still once again.

Morning came early as i was concerned. A quick batch of cinnamon rolls quickly filled the air with the scent of cinnamon.

I had no morning drinks to offer her, other than a sprite. I handed it over the wall wrapped in a cup towel along with a ziplock bag with a couple of cinnamon rolls. I motioned that i would toss it and for her to catch..Not knowing the language but for a few choice words..

My mind always on the thought of things, the scent reminded me of a song i heard once called "Cinnamon Girl" by Neil Young...

She gladly accepted, I gave her privacy while i had breakfast with her in the confines of my shell.

Within a few minutes she had eaten her breakfast, had folded "the blanket" ever so neatly and left it for me to tend to. Just as quickly as she had entered that small space, she quickly had fled. I later chose to call her, the bird that fed and flew.

I can still see the reflection of her face in the moonlight, she was not there to take or ask of anything...just there to give me a moment in time, that the moon reflected upon,that will last a lifetime...

I am in the great U. S. of A. wondering if she went back to the shelter of her husband.

Syrope my blanket was still entwined with my sheet today when i stripped my bed...i've decided to change my sheets, and pulling apart my blanket and my sheet made me realize how sleeping with you was better than *sleeping* with you, sort of like how now you like sex better than orgasms. waking up tomorrow morning won't be as fun without you here. 030209

jewelz you want love, we'll make it

your body is a wonderland.

hiddenbyunanimity Oft, I gaze at the light
which pierces the blanket
enshrouding the down sky
tell, speak; who?
what shall i be
When next i inflect and look up to thee
What roads shall I take, what paths shall I choose,
likely: solitary trail, under the light of the moon

O! To freefall, charioted by baraccus
O! Fatal impact! As the dull ground numbs the ache
Swallows me carressingly in folds of darkness
to cease to exist but in a warm blanket,
protected from the cold blade,

O!to dream in a bed of lies
to lay my head upon a pillow,
which whispers like a lover soft words of hope

And all the while to stain this black blanket crimson
From the vitality pouring out of veins,
veins pierced by the blade of the light of the moon

danielle sitting here, cold feet on the cold pine table, reading a book i don't understand, my head leaning on a window sill that's not your shoulder, a blanket wrapped around me that isn't your arms. They say a kiss is just a kiss, that a sigh is just a sigh. What's a kiss that never happened, a sigh that went unnoticed or ignored. It's been a week now, where are you? Do you miss me? These questions race through my mind every day. I hate to say I miss you but I do, I hate to say need you but I do, more and more everyday. I want to say I love you, but I don't, not yet. I can't wait forever, you know, for you to come to your senses, but until then, I can't stop thinking about you. Damn, I wish you would come back. I'll be waiting here, with my head on the window sill that isn't your shoulder and a blanket wrapped around me that isn't your arms. 060828

Ubiquitous Flattery Each vowel typed by those who have blathed under "blanket", each tender consonant fills me with invigorating reverence for the blankets in my life right now! Thank you! 061011
