balancing [2-02-2010]
by Ava Blu
at 7:30am, i am awake and ready to face
the walls of the day;
i am opening the window
i am breathing in the wet branches
and i return to believing in myself for one more day.

Author's Note: by 8:30,
it seems my shot is already used.

| Posted by Gabriel Ricard on 02/02/10 at 02:28 PM I think you can still turn it around. Your work has always suggested a remarkable ability to do that. Great, beautiful image here. |
| Posted by George Hoerner on 02/02/10 at 05:11 PM Thank God you didn't pull the trigger. You'd be missed so much! And I love "the walls of the day". I push hard on them every day just to get them to open up a little more. |
