Sinister: on your machine i slur a plea for you to come home.

[miss lou]

hello sinister.

i am officially obsessed with the new death cab for
cutie album. 

i promised myself i wouldn't take advantage of the
opportunity to listen to it before it came out. but
then, when faced with it, i (as with all things i
truly love) gave in.

the song is 'a lack of color.'

move over photobooth (and i never thought i'd say
that).

***

i am happy the list is so nostalgic right now. it
echoes that feeling i had a few weeks ago when i
decided to come back. and. in a not so weird way, the
way i felt when i joined.

i feel like i don't know anyone again, and i kind of
like it. 

***

the season is changing again in middle america, and i
am ready for it this time. 

i had been wanting a gray, rainy day from the first
day i moved into my new apartment; the front room is
perfect for cloudy weather. and finally, a few weeks
ago, it did rain; i was asleep on the couch, and i
woke up to the sound. 

and lying there watching our cheap, pastel chiffon
curtains move over the open windows, i knew this fall
would be perfect, if only because the light in the
apartment always is the softest yellow, and the sound
of eleventh street below the windows always is a quiet
bustle.

when the leaves turn, our porch, three floors up and
surrounded by trees, will be covered with reds and
oranges--

i keep writing about colors.

***

i hope, as in past times, no one decides to send me
any poetry parrots, sestina weasles or villanelle
vermin of any kind.

i met with a professor this morning to discuss my
thesis project, which, we decided, will be a
collection of poems. i have to hand in ten to fifteen
every three weeks, and i think if any literary
wildlife showed up on my lovely windowsills, i
wouldn't even have to go to the trouble of turning
them away.

the crazy look in my eyes, set to arrive in approx. 21
days, will be enough to frighten any poor soul.


.xo.lou.
