misstree but last night, the water was ice.

it was beautiful. i had to awit until late december to ese it, but after getting a day off from work, i got to lounge about and let the huge window show me first snow, that heavenly dandruff that laughs its whole way down. when the wind whips, you can sometimes hear the larger clumps hollering "whee!"

i got cold, wet kisses all the way back from getting coffee, tiny splashes exploding on my cheeks. cars were barely going faster than i was, the tire tracks nothing more than twin lines of ice. it was like watching elephants on ice skates.

and when i got home, there was a girl throwing snowballs at her dad on the second floor, telltale bumps like a wall's embarassing acne showing missed throws, and a few splotches on his coat showing strikes.

portland finally got snow. i'm home.

and, i think it more than worthy of note to say that i've still bee spotting flowers every couple of days in walking. roses, lavender, an odd bloom on a bush. this town loves to be lush.

jane when he drove up to portland to deliver his friend, there was nothing for me to do except wait for his return.
i saw him sliding down that escalator like some model from the future, sunglasses gleaming from window refraction, then grinning at me because he knew i would jump on him as soon as he reached the bottom.
he fell in love with portland, & it was all he could talk about on the ride home, after petting the dog & giving me a kiss.

Soma Moving to this city was an unexpected blessing. Like all good blessings, it was purchased in blood - my proverbial slate washed clean with the sacrifice of my past self, my lovers, and my love. All three expiring in a massive clusterfuck of emotion, regret, and shame.

K. told me they call it the City of Roses here.
I can see why.

That's been my experience - a lack of caution in reaching for something beautiful brought for pain, blood, and tears.

But i'll be more careful next time.
Thank you, Portland.
