If I could talk and you would listen...

Wed Dec 29, 2004, 6:36 PM
When you were a baby I sat very still to hold you. I could see the veins through your skin like a map to inside you. How could skin be that thin? I was so afraid you might drop and break. I stopped breathing so you wouldn't.

When you were crying I got out of bed and went into your room. You were thrashing around behind the bars of the crib, your face twisted and red, like, how could they be doing this to me? I didn't understand why Mom hadn't come to you.

You turned your head to look at me. Your eyes looked so big in your face, so mysterious-wide and flickering like a butterfly wing mask. When you saw me the walks turned to sobs, and then just quieter heavs of your body. I heald out my finger through the bars.

Then you reached out and curled your fingers around me, so tight. I knew you recognized me. That was the first time I knew I haad a heart inside my body.

So mads,

since I'm not sure how to reach you I might as well try here. The line that says you can see through the skin like a map is very stricking. You should do something with it in another thing. Perhaps write a poem based off of it.

But when are you coming back? I miss you. I GOT THE JOB!!!!!!!! I'M WORKING AT STEAMWORKS!!!!!! I start tommorow, which is saterday. I leave for TC MI on july 3, I know wayne's birthday.....

anyways, I hope you'll call me sometime or something

There is always a bottom to something...and when you hit it, at least you can't go down any further...just never let your dreams take over your life, otherwise, there is no bottom.

WOO HOO! What are your hours? When do you work? How long are you going to be in MI? And when do I get to see you?

Love
