abuseHeh, got a wee bit teary-eyed here for some reason. I'm not sure why this hasn't been reviewed before. Been here since February! 'Giving shape to a t-shirt' ... '..my chest thick with what will shape my day' ... I used to wonder if I was the only soul in the city who felt like this sometimes. I'm sure it's not true, but you go round looking at people who looks as though their actions and immediate present have been built lik mechanics, and you just want to KICK them. 'And I can be anything I choose today'. I need to wake up.
'And as I look up in the sort of reverence/
that you give to a thing/
which in truth deserves reverence but through repetition has grown trite/
I acknowledge the morning/
that beginning when the sun spills over/
misting us with light.'
You take the kind of thing I try and distil into my own writing and impart it with such sweet simplicity, with no attempt to masquerade the words. Writing like this feels honest.
'A perfect circle, ending what has been a perfect night'.
I think I have been leaning out of windows for hours on end this year with those unformed words pounding through my head. Especially in the cold.
...
You remind me too much of someone else.
