You called near the beginning of this morning, early enough so that your voice would grab hold of me & capture me off garde, you almost barely said, "hello" in that sort of illusionary vulnerable way you do- you did- and I hiatused with nothingness escaping my lips. Was I dreaming was it truly you calling me, than the realization set in that it was you, right after your voice questioningly hinted atyou dont recognize me anymorein tonality but never making appearance in word formations, you inquired into my well-being I replied with some routine answer- you called because you were stressed at work- 20 million things to do and people paying visits in your office and you felt overwhelmed- so whywhy- would you call me, were you seeking comfort, were you trying to make your presence known in my life? seemingly so you have it timed just right to know when I've just gotten over the seclusion of living here all on my own, were I have come to a point when the phone rings I don’t have to be anxious if it is you, when a car pulls up I don’t have to raise my head up to see if its you, when the doorbell rings I don’t permit myself to imagine it is you. Than you execute it on me, you call and everything comes overflowing on back, and than------ you leave------ never staying long enough, but just lingering sufficiently to taunt in various sadistic ways- cuz you just cant let go of something’s- or is it that you don’t want to let go. I still haven’t figured anything out- other than this.

thin tap-root Nature does not bend the elements to favor the plants and the animals; she makes the plants and animals do the bending.

Didn't fall asleep last night until 3:30ish AM, just laid there thinking and taking into consideration all that has transpired as of lately- after all there is much to mull over in ones mind. My alarm clock didn’t even have the satisfaction of bztt bztt bztt'ing me awake, it was you- you once more calling at 7:30ishAM to go over tomorrow’s dealings. The conversation went relatively well, except for one bit of alteration in procedure I hadn’t predictable however, after awhile I started to cry as silently as possible but you knew anyhow and asked why I was crying ...
continuing on you were trying to convince me that everything will be ok, "you will be ok- I will be ok- everything will be ok" somewhere in-between the uncertainty you called me baby and later on said to me shortly before you hung up my name and when I responded you sort of said in that almost but not quite whisper borderline affectionate tone you sometimes can conjure up from some unknown place "I love you" I didn’t know how to take it so I just let the words drift off.

Before departing verbally you had once again inquired into the situation between my love and I, and where I'll be living. I don’t understand why this is such an issue with you, every time we talk now which isn’t often (which I'm thankful for because it’s still too difficult to talk to you) you always ask.

hmmm I'll never understand you but perhaps that is the point of all of this.

clematis are in bloom, wish you could see how beautiful they are
