19 may

19 may. part one: the heart fluttered. as soon as the door opened, she walked past him. not daring to look. into the kitchen. he started explaining how to cook the steak. clearly excited being a host. she just watched. adjusting. shifting feet. listening. they settled down at the table. ate dinner. part two: glasses out. drinks were poured. conversations flowed. the years quickly faded away. of lift landings. of it systems. of generalists and experts. of cases. of nephews and godson. of friends. of selves.  of housing. of balance. of partners. of marriages. of beings. part three: it was close to midnight. she left. happy as a bird. reminded of who she was meant to be. not daring to admit. feelings that lie beneath.

today marks the 7th day at work. 2 colleagues asked whether i was ok because i looked "quiet" and "tired".  it's not much of a big deal really. though it led me to wonder whether the universe is trying to tell me something. that this current situation is...  taking away the life out of my spirit; taking away the spark out of my eyes; taking away the lightness in my steps; i wonder if this is why i find it increasingly difficult to inspire others or be inspired anymore. because inside i feel empty and maybe just a tad lonely. ended the evening with dinner with m.i.a. hope to get through the week and make it to friday. m.
