Exactly like you (SNOWDaze)




The party's over, the candles flicker and dim
You danced and dreamed through the night
It seemed to be right just being with him
Now you must wake up, all dreams must end
Take off your makeup, the party's over
It's all over, my friend
 

 
 
 
It's snowing-again!
I had hoped (not so secretly; emitting cries of shock and disgust from
 my colleagues) that it would snow again.

I woke up to a little blanket, soft fingers and smile breezing right up onto
 my mouth.
It becomes so beautiful, quiet.
I surrender to happiness at these times. 
Any worry, fear or frustration simply glides away. I am free to dream
 just a little bit longer
TIME OUT for trauma
of any kind...
I burn my foot whilst making a cup of tea?
I have to wait patiently for sweetness to come and make a nest of my 
bed?
I have to wash in cold water with a boiler still broken?
 
NONE of this matters.
It snows.
 
It snows.
Dreams 
flesh out.
Anything is possible
 
(Apart from your drive to work, getting the bike out, going to visit your
 friend in a City down the tracks because said tracks are too icey).
  
Sitting here and sipping my clipper berry tea, the best of the bunch- so 
strong and true 
 

 
 
 
...(at least a tea can supply me with these strengths).
  
(ooo
oooooo
claws)
  
Today will be a drawing day. I am not even going to try to venture to
 the studio.
I'll surround myself with teapots
and 
after I brave the gym
(mainly to do the E word, but also to use the showers)
I might browse Port Meadow, let it eat up my eyes, skid on the lake
 


 
 
 
pretend I am hand in hand here
and there's buns in the oven to get
back to-
Or a loaf
strawberry Jam on toast.
A day spent in front of the fire

with our clothes

not

on

us





ooooooooops
 
 












 
 (mmmmm
delicious
very
supple
times)
