Cactus Flowers “It’s okay, mom.” How many times had she said these words to me? She was trying to comfort me. Obviously I had done something to deserve this, because she was so good and wonderful that there would never be any reason for her to go. And then I think how selfish it is of me to think of how it hurts me, and not how much agony she must have gone through. And now that Katie is gone, I spend at least an hour of every day staring out the window, at the blinding beauty of the Arizona desert, and ponder what it could have been.Cactus Flowers

ScarsYour scars are bright and shiny like a baby's teeth newly cut and grown, or Christmas toys your mother hid up in the attic praying you would never touch. I like their livid edges, how they pucker under my hands like new zippers begging to be left open, and catch the light that spills from my perfect world; and you like the jagged sounds my sighs make, the rush of warm air that keeps you safe and how your fragile heart beats when you unbuckle your skin and the world heals.Scars
| Okay, the name's Nicole. I used to draw as well as write, but now I only do the latter. But I'm not entirely boring and grumpy. I'm actually pretty wacky. So... feel free to talk to me. I always enjoy chatting with someone and having them critique my work. Speaking of critique, I figure I should let you know who my two main critics are: Chica, a cockatiel, and Jake, a blue and gold macaw. Yes, I talk to them and THEY TALK BACK! Think I'm crazy? You should see me when I don't take my meds. Bwahaha! Ahem. Moving on. |
fml. seriously.
