“Flying hurts at first. Feels almost unnatural. Awkward, perhaps unlucky & unable.”
Universe, a naked prayer tonight: I long for reunion with my true love, her a double hundred
miles away. I belong with her, learning to fly even as I teach her as well. Help me, help us, to
better reunion, soon as possible. Help us to enact our love’s faith despite impediment. I pray
to thee, Universe, for help & guidance & blessing, for strength, for endurance during these
struggling times, & for what must be possessed to claim & keep our victory. Thus I pray.
Rebecca looks fierce upon me & says she’s not gone fear not she twists as often as
ever for the press of your hand look at me
I look
good she says now let your heart swirl around her like ever openly & freely & rawly
there is nothing but love breathe
this simply in & out
love shivers & glows when molded into
Art
Art makes the Universe look
at me, Raymond!
Hello, Lisa Marie
Hello
so you’re here on my pages at last
Yes I am
Are you OK?
No but I’m trying now
That’s good.
It’s going to be slow this time.
I know.
If you love me you will understand.
Yes.
I want you to love me without pain. I want us to be happy.
I wanted you to call me before I left.
I’m sorry I didn’t.
What’s between us?
You don’t have to ask. You already know. I love you. I’ve never stopped. But I’m
not ready. Will you wait for me?
You know I will.
Nobody’s ever loved me like you do. They always hurt me. I don’t think you will.
No I wont.
Be patient. You have my heart. Nobody will take me away from you again.
I still want you to call.
I know, Raymond.
I don’t know what kind of writing this is, Lisa. I called it fixtion like it seeks to fix.
You’re still doing that. You’re trying to fix me.
I’m going to Burning Man again with you in my heart.
