complexity of random musings

I listen to your song and sigh
as I can't reach you any other way
I want the barrier to disappear

I follow the dog to that tree trunk
where he has hidden my memory card
I scrape it out of the ground

my nail breaks and hangs limp
the breeze does nothing to soothe me
I turn back to the song again

"I pick a little stone and rub it on that CD and taste blood"

I can feel the digging for memory, and the broken nail.

I kept seeing a spiritual meaning in your words. No matter what, we all return to that same song. Enjoyed reading your thoughts.

It is sad but unfortunately there will always questions unanswered.

Painful indeed.

Dark, dark. Those in betweens when we are neither here nor there, but we haven't left yet. Powerful.

I can think of a lot of barriers that I'd like to see disappear!
