the in-between

blank mind but heightened emotions. if my brain activity gave off light the glow would be dim by the time it struggled through all the gray matter to reach the perceptive centers of another.
havin' to remind myself i'm in india again. but this time it's different. instead of marveling at the potential forms that this clay of unknowing could take, i'm exhaling, reflecting on the past one hundred forty-eight days of life in this parallel universe.
one hundred forty-eight days of vibrant, racing, bleeding, screaming, mad mad mad life. life for life's own damn sake, rolling on the breeze of my fancy.
packin' up today with a heart like a jellyfish. body burstin forth and limbs slowly following. theyre more thoughtful. more apprehensive, more sentimental. if human nature ever knew accumulation they sure as hell know it now. i came to this motherland with three t-shirts including the one on my back, and two pairs of jeans. today i have to fit a whole apartment into a single suitcase
listless and languishing lying in wait im still young but these travels will put some weariness on these bones.
the hours dwindle between me and my departure. Desi and Hanna's booming laughter has never sounded so beautiful.
