Dandilion Lemon Drops
For everything that's happened over the past few days, it was really all about that half hour of greengrassacrobaticsseconddayjeanssoakingupyesterdaysclouds this afternoon. A whole body of 57towns spread on one courtyard in the middle of a city...damn, there's so much to it all that just screamsscreamsSCREAMs beauty on every level. Tonya picked me up and swung me in perfect revolutions like the movies...until we both fell into the grass and laughed. She was my axis and the wind in my hair...oh god, the wind in my hair. I raced from the main building to the statue, even though people were watching and my shoes were falling off. I danced barefoot in the grass and laid my body down across its seekinggreenfingertips. I'm not sure if I was tickledpink more by the sun or the grass or by Jenn and her inked impressions on my hip. I think I absorbed the radiance of the chrysanthemum syrup that poured from the blue, pressing itself against my vision, and I flowed like I haven't in so long. I just moved and slid thru every action. I didn't have to think. I laid down with some of the most beautiful and canthelpbutbebreathlessintheirpresence people I know and just was. I listened to the silent poetry of Jenn harder than ever and felt it. Oh, how I felt it...and I still wonder if she knew, then and there, how I traced her silhouette against the sky. And Sara...Sara. It'd been too long. She's most beautiful on sunny days, on the ground, smiling because she just gets it. She understands the significance of simplicity and sublty and somuchelse. I love her. Danielle, too. She shined more than ever against the sky. Brilliant and shimmering. Smilesopure. So much else could follow, or precede...but it won't. Those who were there know. Anyone who has ever fogotten, for a moment, why they bothered to grow up - and just given in to that sweet reverie of sugareddandilion recess knows. I can feel all the droplets of today growing in my gardens and blooming upsidedown in my soil...those flowers are so warm. It feels good to be so warm.
By the way, Hannah is still my hero. She ditched ACL to go kayaking...and next time, maybe, I will go with her. Hannah smells like rainshowersunshine, always.
And, by the way, I wish I had pounced without telling you first. I don't know why I said something, but it was still warmlikepoppiessingingyellowsymphonies. Next time, I won't warn you. Next time, I won't think. I will just wash over you and etch magnolia flowers onto your skin with my lips. For all that was said and done, what wasn't said strums the loudest - sings the strongest. <3Missyou, love.
