in a literal sense...and boy do i miss
'em (and laura too!)
big and brown and far away
i am happy to finally see her on a
nice bike.
shalom, short laura! shalom!
we didn't know it right away amidst that
delicately awkward bonding moment. i
don't have the language to describe
laura, a funny thing given our
connection through the written word, but
she is just so fucking amazing that i
can't do her justice or describe how it
makes me feel to be around her. it's
been a long and sometimes difficult
decade of our relationship, but she's
the sister of my soul in the most
vibrant way. water, laura, bread and
salt and your speech on the page,
letters over the ocean and pieces slowly
fitting together to discover we are
forever bound together.
watched a Traci Lords movie Laura was
in the room too. If not, my brain
apparently wants her to have been
there.
