New Discoveries

A short story:

Shirley sashayed up to a man shrouded in shredded sheets and mentioned not a word as she latched her shivering hands on each of his massive shoulders and shook him into shameful recognition.

The end.

Dear Scarlet,
About a month ago you asked if you could have a “circle mohawk” again. I told you to think about it because you’ve been growing your hair out for so long and I didn’t want you to regret it. On Sunday night I told you I had a hair appointment with Allison the next day. You asked if you could get your hair cut like that again, but you were laying down for bed and not supposed to be talking so I ignored you. The next day you asked twice, so I finally said I didn’t care and that you look beautiful whatever you decide. The last time your hair was like this you weren’t in school yet, I was so nervous about kids being cruel. I walked you to school on Tuesday morning and stayed awhile to make sure everything was going to go smoothly, which it did. When I picked you up you said, “Olivia liked my hair. She said she didn’t want her hair like this, but she liked mine like this. And we’re still friends. That’ just like how I don’t want to have purple hair like Allison, but I love Allison’s purple hair. You don’t have to have all the same stuff as your friends.” Wise beyond your years, baby child. I’m so proud of you and how you have the courage to be exactly who you want to be, despite any other outside influences. While we’re on the topic of gender, when I was at parent teacher conferences a few months ago a mom of this little boy approached me. She told me how he wanted to paint his nails and go to school. She let him. When he came home he said, “Scarlet loved my nails, Mom!” I’ve never been so proud.

So much love for this post. So much.

I was sinking until I sunk.
I was losing a battle i never fought.
to the bottoms of the darkest oceans.
to deepest crevices between land and sea.
beyond what anyone could explore.
beyond the imagination of the unrefined.
i hit the endless grains of salt.
I hit the soft sands of forgotten earth.
falling deeper into its quickness.
falling deeper into despair.
there I cowered from the nothing.
there I searched for no life to speak of.
no flying fish with gills of light.
no monsters lurking beneath the shadows.
left in a silent sort of solace.
left to think and dwell and gasp for air.
air that bubbled up from within.
air that found its way to fresh aired freedom.
leaving me behind to suffocate.
leaving me behind to choke on unshed tears.

Had to write an introduction for my College success skills class today. I have 6 classes this semester. Not my first rodeo. Bored with the same old, so now I’m pretty sure all my classmates and teacher think I’m crazy because boring bios are boring.
