mybestkungfu's Diaryland Diary

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ben & Jerry's coconut almond fudge

burned under the sun.

diFranco in the afternoon air.

wrapped my arms around

what was left of me.

waiting for providence to take her share.

(and here's one more from Ani...'Heart Break Even')

nothing lost and nothing gained

so i'm 10 years old again

standing in the backyard waving at a train

i feel you make love to me slightly

every time you let a little laugh slip too soon

and the moment passes over us so lightly

it feels like sand blowing over a dune

you try not to let your emotions show

but it ain't a balloon you can just let go

it's an ice cream cone dripping in the sun

sticky hands

sticky arms

sticky situation

it's a heart break even situation

one part powerful elation

one part pitiful and frail

and i'm trying to feel my way around

a book of promises written in braille

there is pressure from within this

and pressure from above

there is pressure on our tenuous, strenuous love

and there's wet wool blankets one, two, three

laid onto my chest

'til i just can't breathe

and i try not to let my emotions show

but it ain't a balloon i can just let go

it's an ice cream cone dripping in the sun

sticky hands

sticky arms

sticky situation
