what goes on here (?)

September 15, 2008

is it that the sound of a voice bounces off the brick-laced walls,

or have the red clay squares learned to speak after all these years

and like to flex their throats in acts of repetition?

the fields between old walls are only limited by the hours of the day,

and reinvent themselves every moment

due to such a strong emotional attachment to the sky.

the little girl who doesn’t wear shoes

and never steps on all the glass

likes to imitate the rain with the bare bottom pitter patter of her feet.

    This has a quality that makes me think ‘pure’, ‘genuine’, ‘uncluttered’ but NOT ‘youthful’ or ‘carefree’. There is a beautiful simplicity and purity to youth, but there’s another when something or someone has known Ages – this addresses that.

    And, yeah, I’m shaky about the title too. Maybe just ‘what goes on’. Or actually the double meaning there might be a bit too ‘clever’. I dunno

    i knew it was you baby.
    now i feel some kinda way, cause i was thinking about calling this “self portrait in the reflection of my bay-window”
    cause i didn’t like the title either…
    but i’m glad you liked it
