"see the way the sun eats the tree," she says.
first i see her words:
"straight line.
crooked line.
right line.
wrong line."
black words on a white wall.
then the words fade and i see the tree behind them with its gnarled bark and its hairless arms. too thin for climbing. too strong to be broken by human hands. the light around them gold and shimmering. a wild carpet of grass. not enough to get lost in, but deep enough to make me wonder what's gone missing between those quiet culms.
i could sit and sketch this scene from memory. put lead to paper. draw the right lines and the wrong ones. let the straight and crooked cords fall where life went on all around me, and trade brown and green and aureate brilliance for grey and white.
i'd rather stand and watch the most placid feeding frenzy i've ever seen. let my mind be the paper, and when i've drawn something good enough to show you where i've been, let it blow away for anyone to find.

t'was the end of a dream i had (or maybe more of a response to that part of the dream). i was supposed to sit and sketch the scene from memory every day until i found a way to recreate it with some amount of realism, but all i wanted to do was take it all in and take pictures with my eyes. and i thought, "there's something important here."

it's kind of spooky you would say that, kerry, because this was the same dream you were in that i wrote about the other day on blatherskite_dreams. the wooded area i was supposed to draw was the same place your fifteen-second film was set in. when i was watching that film, there *were* other trees. but when i was alone and it wasn't a film anymore, i only saw one.
