It was amazingly dark last night, as the street lights went out, and there was no traffic, and only occasional lightning flashes to remind me I was still in the world. It was the kind of enveloping darkness that was so comforting, so deliciously a void, that sleep came easily and deeply. Well, as deeply as it could on a loveseat that's auditioning for the lead in Fluffy Stuffin' II: The Quickening, anyway...
It was the kind of dark that I wished I could have shared with Cammie, where we would hear each other but not see each other...almost a rhetorical coversation between two people, like the other person is just a voice in your head, and Cammie is good for giving me thoughts I don't normally think myself...
Tonight, they fixed the street lights and they cast their pinkish/orange in my living room, the girl in the back apartment has left her porch light on again, and so, sleep is just heat shimmer on the highway... I watched Bergmann's Smiles of a Summer Night, (delightful!) and now I'm here posting away...
sigh.
