From my Caged Corner
My Dear Companion, These words may fall on you like the dust that cloaks me in this exiled expanse of darkness, they may sound ancient and tasteless compared to your new-found ideas concerning life and its purpose. In my isolation, I have grown feeble, so with my final grams of courage harnessed, I call to you in a whisper that can hardly be perceived.

Then the memories returned like a gust of wind and I blew away with the ease of a summer’s breeze.

Lake Michigan
I remember the lake, and her fury Her calm spirit and white foaming joy, That bubbled as if knowing I was coming. My foot prints taunting her tide’s ploy.

It wasn’t unusual for Mia to be on a plane on the 14th of June. Still, she was finding it difficult to accept what was happening. She got lucky with a window seat and watched the billowing clouds roll underneath the extended wing. She imagined her own arm extending and being washed in their cool, damp vapor. Her skin would become clammy and cold, but it would be new and clean. Maybe, even her tattoos would be washed away.
