I grew up crooked falling out of trees an accident on purpose with an element of surprise and too much contemplation, I - do not comprehend how the eyes are the gateway if mine are stone, gray. I grew a girl with too many questions, strung like diamonds round her neck, or pebbles in the bottom of your shoe, they're the same, ultimately, it's all the same shame anyway, and she feels like pulling out her hair, again. I watered her and then stepped back, watched her grow and how about that, an old woman confused in her young skin, a young girl wondering what constitutes a sin, and I am left to try and try again. |

Alyssa, You once told me how you liked it when I put to different images together to make comparisons. You did this masterfully, Lady! And as to questions...that's my middle name, too. I sure understand the diamonds and the pebbles begot by asking them! Take care, Alyssa. It is very good to read your writing again. keep on asking those questions! miscellanea |
