low tide.it smells like low tide, she remarked as we walked

down the sidewalk, leaving footprints in the blue

half-dried paint spills that littered our pathway...

it smells like low tide, the voice sang out in my

mind, a clear but faint soprano with a haunting

melody that pulled my heartstrings to the shore...

it smells like low tide...

it smells like low tide...
mr. robinson.
poor, dear mr. robinson, you sweet old songbird
lying still and cold under your favorite holly bush
your warm, red feathers hold no heat, now,
for your heart cannot take the cold any longer.

poor, dear mr. robinson, you sweet old songbird
how I will miss your voice in the spring mornings,
rousing me from lethargic dreams,
juxtapose to my window pane.

i will bury you as you deserve, cradled in my hands,
right under the holly bush where you were born
please, mr. robinson - let your soul keep flying on
maybe, one day, i'll hear your song in my dreams.
unirrational fear of owls.
There is a perfectly rational fear of owls. Not just in the physical sense, seeing that they're big and have huge, depth-less black eyes, and wings that span many feet. Yes, they are majestic, and I see them as such, but not as often as I see them as harbingers of death. When I lived in Wisconsin, right off of the Menominee Reservation, it was told to me by one of my father's friends (my father was a doctor for the tribe) that when an owl cried in such a certain way, that someone in the next tribe had died. My father heard it once, and in fact, someone in the neighboring tribe had died, which, in itself, is either coincidental or real.

happily ever after. not.You know what's unrealistic? Fairy tales. I was coming back home from Thanksgiving dinner at my aunt's house, and I was thinking about how they're not realistic at all. Yeah, I know that there are the /real/ fairy tales, where the wicked stepmothers dance in burning shoes, the protagonist gets raped and has twins out of wedlock and then her husband eats them by mistake, and that sort of thing, but most people don't know those stories. They know the pretty-girl-meets-the-equally-or-more-pretty-guy-unless-he-is-the-Beast-so-he's-beautiful-on-the-inside-and-they-fall-in-love-and-live-happily-ever-after stories. Those stories drive me insane.

It's still beautiful. You still had to decide what colours to use. :)
