Fear--a bird trapped in a glass house at night, outside bright camera lights blaze.
Confusion--you go to sleep and wake up in a new time and new place, you step outside forgetting where you are, how you got here. You run down the streets looking for the question.
Faith--a light that does not exist, only felt, given only the faintest trace. It is also the smell of flowers when all around you is concrete as far as eyes can see.
Promise--a dangerous thing which we fool ourselves into believing. Like money, it is lost and found. Transacted, changed hands. Even if you hold on to it hard, it still flies away without your knowing. You wonder where you spent it on. Who you sqaundered on.
Life--finding a nest on your air-con unit with eggs waiting to hatch
Life--drinking all the milk from the carton, then realizing it is long overdue.
Love--a walk under a drizzle, some hears music on the pavement, some catches a cold.
Fate--two women wearing the same shoes and sharing the same lover smiles at each other on a crowded bus.
Birth--a child baptizes a toy with a name and an existence. An art is discovered from a pile of trash.
Birth--a shooting star and a morning blindness when the sun eclisped.
Fame--standing on top of a thousand flight stairs platform looking at the glittering and flashing world below you. The climb up has been difficult enough, but how do you get down from here?
Happiness--a walk on a clear beautiful day sees the person on the other side of the road losing hold of a red balloon, the balloon floats away, the loss made everything beautiful. you both look at each other. Shrug. smile.
Disappointment--realizing you are all you ever will be
Peace--finally seeing that you are all you ever will be is the greatest blessing.
Courage--a dance among sparrows on a field of mines
Forgetfulness--a whitewashed wall once stained with history
Poetry--a one legged bird preparing for flight
