Thanksgiving is goodbye

| 1 Comment | No TrackBacks

All the turkey dwindling in a freezer container seven feet away. When I moved in here my parents were here and it is apropos that they should be here this weekend - my last. My fingers are scarred, thumb pads rent from the mesh. Today was a long day. The walls have told all their stories and I am itching, this day after thanksgiving, for new palates on which to plaster new stories - clean walls, my walls.

I am running naked and wet through the rain tonight; the family quietly sleeps in sudden slumber. The fun that was had will be had again - but not quite in the same way - if not now, then very soon.

I ate the jello cranberries: my favorite. I sucked my thumb. I played Ken and Barbie and Ken. She can't stand up. She's dancing to stay upright. Kicked the high-heels into the pool. Goodnight this place; it is slowly dismantling. Goodnight sweet prince; he's dead. Goodnight Candler Park, or Lake Claire, or whatever you are.

Oh B, its been a great house. Its always sad when something ends. It always strange to drive by where you use to live when you know you don't go there anymore. Watch out R-town!
