(Smog) :: Say Valley Maker
2005
Maybe it’s because all my life I’ve been encouraged to imagine my wedding or my children or my first house. While I’m preoccupied with the start of a life, a well framed death-dream fascinates me, stings me with exotic beauty.
In our one life, we may have many resurrections. We all have felt former selves fade. Old situations become frozen, while we, newly mobile step out of them in fresh shined shoes to shake off the last bits of that skin. We can learn that perfection is not the path to love. And we can be triumphant, rascally corpses who ride atop frothy drum fills into a ferocious new day.
