i'm cambria. i'm just kind of here. i can do almost anything and i can at least pretend to do everything else. almost every adjective describes me. my interests include long walks on the beach and shallow, unmarked graves.
breathing heard just below the floorboards.
the sense of something terrible rousing itself from its torpor.
what you have heard is true. i was in his house. his wife carried a tray of coffee and sugar. his daughter filed her nails, his son went out for the night. there were daily papers, pet dogs, a pistol on the cushion beside him. the moon swung bare on its black cord over the house. on the television was a cop show. it was in english. broken bottles were embedded in the walls around the house to scoop the kneecaps from a man's leg or cut his hands to lace. on the windows there were gratings like those in liquor stores.
we had dinner, rack of lamb, good wine, a gold bell was on the table for calling the maid. the maid brought green mangoes, salt, a type of bread. i was asked how i enjoyed the country. there was a brief commercial in spanish. his wife took everything away. there was some talk then of how difficult it had become to govern. the parrot said hello on the terrace. the colonel told it to shut up, and pushed himself from the table. my friend said to me with his eyes: say nothing.
the colonel returned with a sack used to bring groceries home. he spilled many human ears on the table. they were like dried peach halves. there is no other way to say this. he took one of them in his hands, shook it in our faces, dropped it into a water glass. it came alive then. i am tired of fooling around he said. as for the rights of anyone, tell your people they can go fuck themselves. he swept the ears to the floor with his arm and held the last of his wine in the air. something for your poetry, no? he said. some of the ears on the floor caught this scrap of his voice. some of the ears on the floor were pressed to the ground.
OMG, I MISS YOU SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You never know when your guardian angel will be there for you so I have to try. Your response will be interesting.Pay attention to what u read. After you have finished reading it, u will know the reason it was sent to u. Here it goes: People come into your life for a reason, a seaon, or a lifetime. When u know which one it is, u will know what to do for that person. When someone is in your life for a REASON, its usually to meet a need u have expressed. They have come to assist u through a difficulty, to provide u with guidance and support, to aid u physically, emotionally, or spiritually. They seem like a godsend and they are. They are there for u for the reason you need them to be. Then without any wrongdoing on your part or at an inconvienient time, this person will say or do something to bring the relationship to an end. Sometimes they die, sometimes the walk away, or sometimes they act up and force u to take a stand. What u must realize is that our need has been met, our desire fulfilled, and their work is done. The prayer u sent up has been answered and now it is time to move on. Now, some people come into your life for a SEASON, because your urn has come to share, grow or learn. They bring u an experience of peace or make u laugh. They may teach u something u have never done. They usually give u an unbelievable amount of joy. Believe it, it is real, but only for a season. LIFETIME relationships teach u lifetime lessons, things u must build upon in order to have a solid emotional foundation. Your job is to accept the lesson, love the person and put what u have learned to use in all other relationships and areas of your life. It is said that love is "blind" but friendship is clairvoyant. Thank u for being a part of my life,whether the reason, a season or a lifetime. Send this to every friend u have online, including the person who sent it to u.8 replies-u are totally awesome.(and thats probaly why u are on my friends list). I wonder what mine will be.
