The mind, a dormant stone

Greetings everyone! Today is the long awaited Halloween holiday! :) I hope you are all letting your inner ghouls out to float around and frolic in this day! Since the spirit is green and giving, or bloody and dripping all over the linoleum, I thought I'd share a unique little story with you. It's titled "Like Paste" Like Paste Hear my story. It is of a mute liar so keen, so illustrious in her ways; she pulls on her hair to get your attention. She points down, begins to draw a story with her eyes. Chin pressed into her chest, tucked under her shirt.  The ties in her hair wobble as her mouth moves. She strains for “A” sounds. “Aaah, aaah,” she gasps. She draws more sounds through her nose. Dig-Dig…hands pressed suddenly on your cheeks. She frowns at you. You must pay attention. Her palms smell like wet grease, skin flat, creaseless, suction on your face. Her eyes come closer to yours as you start to draw back. You feel her palms squeezing. Don’t leave her, y...

My Wild Love went riding...he ride all the day...he left to the desert, and asked if he could stay... The desert is wild, he left for an hour, now that he's not returned, I have to wonder. Where did this wild love go? Transformed into sea or ocean breeze? I don't think he would have left to the desert, it's just not who he is.

Short only because there are time constraints...however In sorting through my oldest email inbox, I saw messages and testimonies from the life I came from. Just a peak at a few details. The Jessica I am now, is another altogether. According to my plan, I would have gotten married along the ocean shore. Ceremony led by Shaman, The man I'd have married would be an Artist, and he would have wed me for life. I don't know where we'd have lived...probably in a new apartment erected together; and we'd go to the park, any place outdoors to enjoy the sunshine and velvet breeze. In this life, I was more tuned into my soul, instead of my body. I wonder if I have lost more of myself...or gained? I am not sure how I feel about this now.

While there are many markers along the way for the paths we choose to take in our lifetime, there is one in particular that I finally have passed and I am exceptionally thrilled. Poets & Writers have notably dubbed me "Poet" in their directory of Poets & Writers! http://www.pw.org/content/jessica_wilson Well, "that's just a website", you might say... or "Why do you need them to tell you that you're a Poet?" In my journeys across the land of American poetry, you can say that Poets & Writers is the most widely distributed and read resource for writers. That being said, it is in my eyes an accomplishment to be an addition to  this list of Poets and Writers. My application was submitted some time ago, and at last approved. YAY. :) Thanks, PW!
