"this is a journey into the desert..."
a train ride.
the passing scenery looked like Arizona, or what i imagined Arizona should look like.
all sand, cacti, plateaus, red and gold and blistering.
led zeppelin lilted from somewhere-perhaps only in my mind.
led zeppelin always makes me feel naughty, in a good way-dirty, in a pure way.
you met me at the station-destination:middle of nowhere.
with you was a young couple, a child, a small dog.
you seemed shorter than expected-little consequence.
long drive, old car, few words.
a ramshackle house in this barren, moon-like outback.
we ate something, chatted some more, the tv making a backgroud accompanyment.
we went outside, you and i.
stifling, radiating, all-consuming.
or at least it should have been.
there was only you.
blinding white sun light screaming into my eyes.
dazzling.
conversaton-innuendo-carnal shared knowledge-unspoken-awkward-tumbling together in a tangle-a lusty and blissful kiss.
at last.
scorching-crushing-exploding.

i finally opened my eyes.
night had fallen. the sky was massive, black and glittering.
i remember the mesas were dusky purple.
you stood so far away-
staring and somber.
we looked for a long time, at each other.
you told me everything, without a word spoken.
a story of longing, and of loss.
of desire, disappointment, and despair.
a mistake.
you told of 2 ships in the night-
2 planets out of orbit-
our moment in the sun.

you faded into the black.


and then i woke up.


"in my thousand and one nights of dreams, it was never you expected..."



what are the big weekend plans?
tonight is girl's night-i'll try and post pictures.
