Sinister: an old photograph
6:59 on a Friday morning. Any second the alarm clock will go off. The sunlight's pouring in but I can barely make out the photo on the dresser without my glasses. Just patches of blue and green in an old gold frame. It's you standing in front of a cafe - there! shelter from the rain. I took off my jacket for you, but there your arm is raised to reveal skin fine and white. Oh, take care! Skipping across the gravel in your impossible shoes - those thin ankles! - you never tottered once. Peacocks stepped aside for you. I walked two steps behind, thinking of your dress that night out on the dance floor. I wasn't 'a pathetic teenage wreck'. I wasn't 'the iconco destruction pass man'. But you led me through a maze - right, left, no your other left, back to front - lost again! So I fell in upon myself and stared at my reflection in a pool. Til the alarm called me back. Thank goodness for that! +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister@missprint.org.

Hello Sinister, I have not written the list in some time, for what reason I do not know, nothing that compelling. Instead i have been spending my days doing technical writing and watching Miyazaki films. I have actually refrained from listening to Belle and Sebastian in private, mainly out of the fact that the songs are now appearing in my daily life, and not so much an escape. It is still very comforting to hear them though. The autum here is a bit more harsh, the normally beautiful vermont october has been somewhat mundane as many trees were skeletal from the drought long before they can show thier fall colors. It is making me wish for a snowy winter, so I have some beauty in my life. There is very little beauty right now in the world, but i am trying very hard to find it. This probably explains my recent obsession over Miyazaki. Hopefully winter will come, I miss the snow.
