i had to read the first page of 'one hundred years of solitude' three times
there is nothing contrived about it, it dances into your mind like the words of a friend, it is joy
at some times, in some seasons, words come. welcome visitors.
they fly in, mysterious birds, i examine their feathers: black, iridescent
searching for messages
i struggle to please them, to make them comfortable
but they won't stay, in spring they fly off to find colder hearts
