lost pictureAugust 25, 2004 prev/next


today she found a picture.

of wax crayon, and lost years.

i traced my fingers over colours, and tried to remember.

a time when girls had trianlge shaped dresses and four stripes of hair. blonde, black, brown.

a time when houses were nothing more than brown squares with four windows, and a door. a grey roof shaped like trapeziums or triangles.

a time when the sky was a thin blue line, and the grass was a stripe of green that didnt touch our feet.

as my hand sketched across the wax and paper i felt the way the crayon left a rainbow of crystals across my palm, and felt the surrealism of a line of sky and girls dressed in triangles, floating on thin air.
