Flowers. It is amazing how captivating, how mesmerizing, how absolutely astounding a simple cherry blossom may appear. After all, it not at all about trees, it is entirely about people, who bestow their love and fascination upon them. Or the other way around.
I didn't know who she was. Hell, that day, i didn't even know who I was. All I wanted was to lose myself in this beautiful maze of white,crimson and pink, and lie there in the green green grass, feeling the wind rummage through the strands of my hair. I longed to feel the cold light of the moon on my forehead, on the tip of my nose, in the sockets of my eyes. I wanted to catch it in the palm of my hand and hold it, until the morning came to tear it from my soft grip.
She was there too. In the middle of my almost accomplished paradise, lying in my grass, toying with my moon. I thought I was all alone. And for me alone was good, because I was not ready to be..well..not alone. I wanted to stay alone.
I came up to her. After all, it was my place, my fantasy, my dream, it was my world and she was an intruder! When I looked into her eyes I saw a reflection of myself. A crooked, bent and twisted reflection, which terrified me beyond belief, as she simply continued to stare at the falling ghosts of flowers in the moonlight. I peered into the mirrored image, until I could no longer stand it. She took my hand, and somehow she felt not warm, but cool. She was glass, a casing, a corps, a vessel. Fill yourself up, I thought. Cover yourself. Your are a hole, an empty space. How shameful must it be for you to have no innards and no heart, as I do. How bare you this singular state of being? In response, she remained motionless, as if she was a mask, her delicate features poured into a mould by a masterful hand of a craftsman. And heavens, what a beautifully exquisite mould she was. I lay beside her, like I usually did on my green green grass. Not alone, but not accompanied either. She,a still glass sculpture and I, full of life and emotion. I splashed around her in the usual puddle of my blood, scavenging for the essence of my vision to peer into the black depth of the sky. I was uncontained. Not knowing what to do with her.
