Suddenly it becomes possible by Natalie Jones She leans against a countertop holding water in a glass. She drinks, swallows, sets it down and picks it up again. She has done all that she must do today. She watches the grass. She remembers that this morning she did not look at the man she loves before leaving for work. She knows this day was not a day without flaws, but it is a day that is done. Her eyes, once wild and scattered in her young life now remain calm, balanced. The water in the glass is still, unmoving. What is important is that she did her part, that she is standing. Suddenly it becomes possible to bear the weight, to drive the car, to love him. 01/22/2006 Posted on 01/22/2006 Copyright © 2010 Natalie Jones Return to the Previous Page   pathetic.org Version 7.3.1 May 2004 Terms and Conditions of Use 1 member(s) and 19 visitor(s) online All works Copyright © 2010 their respective authors.
