NEBULA

that river in
africa that river in
africa that river in
africa

dam it

break the dam
send waters--salt--streaming
down the convexities of my face

that fucking river in africa
that fucking river in africa

denial

break the dam
send waters streaming
--salt--
to the corners of my mouth

i raise a cotton-candy
fist
earth shakes
dam breaks
my fist is melted plastic

dry dusty tawny hides
feline grace
be lion-hearted
fight the sorrow

fuck it
let it come
let the tears purge
let it come

Sometimes you gotta just let it go dude. No need to hold it back.

Hey, you OK?
Don't bottle it up, sometimes you've just got to let it go.

Beautiful prose by the way.

It's *supposed* to be vague, Teasah. =o)

Thanks, Nighthawk.

Aw, shucks, Cass. This is all that I can squeeze out. I have much more that I can't even put words to.

Yeah, Mel. That's the river. That fucking river. :-/

Jay: I'm not even really *trying* to hold it back, at least not overtly. It's just like a Texas-sized emotional kidney stone. It's taking its own sweet time.

Bunny Bleu: I'm okay, thanks. =o) It's a heavy family issue.
