you were in my dream

"i think last night,
you were driving circles around me."

not nearly any sleep at all, and yet when my eyes finally flutter shut, i dream.

when i kiss the angel

foxfire

last night jules and i watched the film foxfire, which i had not seen since it's release, in 1996. there were things i'd forgotten about it, and details i'd not noticed before. i forgot (or really, would not have noticed back then) that "red" (rita) was played by jenny lewis. i'd also forgotten how much i loved the inclusion of kristin hersh's song, me and my charms (definitely on my list of all-time favorite songs).

"you can come back when you want to,

just know that i'll be here.

i haven't left this step,

and when the lights go out,

i pick the angel up;

i only have two hands..."

"i think last night,
you were driving circles around me."

being sick turns my emotions delicate and breakable, my vulnerability lying carelessly on my feverish skin. tears come easy, as does anger.

but, your arms around me in the dark, no words exchanged, helped me sleep.
sometimes i think it is in our silence that it makes sense, that in the quiet i can breathe.

coffee on my lips now, and jangled feelings as the day goes on. i really do not feel well, not at all.

your ghost ~ kristin hersh & michael stipe
