a letter from fire
palpitations in the heart. breaking beats. strange energies flowing
throughout my body. my mother. telling me ive received some letters.
one is from fire. mixed anxiety. queasiness in my stomach. fear.
excitement. i still love fire very much. though sometimes. hard to
remember her. now like some mythic creature. i thought it had ended. that
i would never see nor talk to her again. i feel like that day so long ago
when i walked through the streets of boston in a daze. not knowing where
i was walking to. or from. it was her birthday just this month. shes turned
seventeen. its been over a year. so long. and so many times have i wanted to
do the same. write her. and find out how shes doing. what she was doing with
her life. tell her about my life. soon perhaps ill know.
