Tuesday, Timeless

| 0 Comments

Hi there.

All day Tuesday is watercolors. Soft washes and blurs, ghost lines, shiny greens and damp browns, rain-gleamed streets. She's a dreaming day, perky but pale, top-framed by a black umbrella, her feet in puddles.

Counting Crows in the background.

A Tuesday like this probably dances when no one is looking -- or spins and sways free, regardless of an audience. Bare white feet splashing ground-fallen rain.

"American girls, all weather and noise..."

A Tuesday timeless. No ambient shift to mark her hours or age. She's always been here, stepping out now and then to look with dark eyes -- and lips that hold a smile, just verging. Always just emerging.

Her wet hair is a Rorshach; the tangles: arcane glyphs.

"Time expands and then contracts
When you are spinning in the grip of someone
Who is not an ordinary girl."

Pretty wet Tuesday, so gloomy and sweet.



Quotes from: Counting Crows, Hard Candy.
Specifically, the songs: "American Girls" and "Hard Candy".
