(for apol: writer, artist, emo whose passion is beautiful and intense...)
some days begin like this:
waking up to cold water, tapped on tile,
on wood, on towel,
padding wet across the pad where my solitude lies and my freedom
extends-- far beyond-- to nothing
in between friends seldom met and work offices often
more attended than the churches (or family) who (can or) never listen
i inhale
alone, independent:
woman, person, gender-- poet with no need for an alibi
to put on this tie on my way to face the world in the middle of
the day -- a wednesday--
and then there you are
standing somewhere in between...
a beginning,
a between;
a semi-colon, like a period but not quite,
a pause after a meeting with an end, of hopefully not yet
these lines i am suddenly borrowing like a poor alibi from a play
still going on... _________________ it just is...

your welcome...*soft smile..* i wasn't entirely sure of the poem, it sprung almost literally in the middle of the pause when i met and half met-- both at the same time-- apol. hopefully i get to continue meeting her again: to continue into a full circle or an end. not like this, standing on a semi-colon right now... _________________ it just is...
